Roman Poem
This assignment was very fun. After learning about
the Romans, we created poems about the fall of Rome.
I learned many things from this assignment that I never
knew before. It was interesting to see how they lived. They were at the peak of their empire before it came crashing down. This was one of my favorite assignments for History. I learned how the Romans lived.

Shabanu Response
In the assignment, Mrs. Frazier gave us questions to answer about a book we were reading, Shabanu: Daughter of the Wind by Suzanne Fisher Staples. About every two chapters we would do a response. The response would be a reflection about what we just read in the book. In this response we were asked how being obedient was good for Shabanu and why her parents were more forceful with her doing it now. I learned how to reflect on things I read.

Crispin journal entiry
We are currently reading Crispin in English. Every few chapters we do a journal entry on Google Docs. Mrs. Frazier gives us a question to answer and we must respond to it. I learned how to recall details from what I just read.
Feudalism Simulation
After learning about Feudalism, we did a simulation. During this simulation we were separated into groups based on the feudalism social scale. We all received the same amount of M&Ms at the beginning but, some of us lost most of them because we had to pay "taxes". From this, I learned that that Feudalism was harder for some than others. I liked the experience of this simulation.
Renaissance poster
For this project, we researched an individual that made an impact during the renaissance. Then we made a poster about their life and their contributions. My individual was Johannes Gutenberg, who invented the printing press. I thought this assignment was very interesting. I found out some interesting things about Johannes Gutenberg. I learned why certain people made an impact during the renaissance.

The hero twins
Recently we have been learning about ancient Mayan civilization. We also learned about the ancient ball game pok-o-tok. We then wrote a paragraph with six facts about the game. It was very interesting to read about the game. I learned that some of today's ball games derived from the ancient Mayan one. I really enjoyed this simulation because it was cool to see what kinds of games they played back then.
