This is my ThingLink about my project, the project we had to do is explain how technology, community, or diet, has changed throughout our history as humans. I chose Technology, specifically the tools. We also had to cite the sources we used for the information and photos we used. We had 1 week to do it and I think I did pretty well. At first, it was pretty hard to find information, as most of the information I had found, was for weapons, or community and diet. But eventually, I started to find information faster, and then I had taken all the notes I needed. I think that the Infographic and my values and limitations for my primary sources went by quickly.
If I could change anything I did, I think it would be to pay more attention to the articles I was reading, because I sometimes found information there. The link below is my ThingLink.

My favorite time in Teach was when I got to show the game me and Jason made with the grade 4s. My most challenging time was creating games to play with the grade 2s/4s. I don’t think I would want to play with younger kids in the future because I don’t think I’m good with kids. If I could change anything I would change the way I talked to kids.

Homo Erectus or Upright man was the longest living human species on earth, and by the time we Homo Sapiens have gone extinct, that could still be true. Homo erectus used sharp stone tools which helped them hunt and gather food quickly without being eaten by other animals. Homo Erectus had straighter backs than other human species which made them fit for travel so they could gather resources quicker. Homo Erectus was also the first human species to use fire, which helped them cook meat and gain more nutrients which helped them become smarter, and it also helped them scare their prey. In conclusion, Homo Erectus was one of the most advanced earlier human species, which helped us grow into the humans we are today.

This is my Maps As Metaphor project:

Key:

Bed=Plain, Calm, Relaxing, Peaceful.

My temper=Mountain,  Can go up or down.

Pressure=valley, Can’t stop it, closing in.

Plane=River, Rarely stressful, a new journey.

My sister=Volcano, Gets angry easily.

My room=oasis, my happy place.

My brain=island,  thinks differently from my head.

My family=Peninsula, one connection.

My thoughts=forest, always clouded.

My injuries=lake, An endless pool.

School=desert, Boring, Bad, Stressful, Useless

The door to my house=coast, freedom and almost stress-free.

My body=Ocean, Always growing.

That was my key to my maps as metaphor map.

“Might”

I am from Home, a loving family,

Ipads and Computer screens,

All around me,

Youtube and the news,

For entertainment and satisfaction,

I am from sadness,

I am from change,

New schools and people,

New places and smells,

Smells and tastes of every kind,

I am from boredom,

Nothing to do,

Less and less interest,

It seeps through me,

Like my sadness and frustration,

I am from Anxiety,

Fear of everything,

thoughts running around,

Keeping me awake,

Keeping me tired,

I am from school,

seemingly useless,

Probably is,

Homework and trouble,

Tests and stress,

Waste of paper,

Waste of time,

But in the end,

I know,

That no matter what,

It might not be,

A waste.
