King Tut imovie

Why do you think Ancient Egyptian Pharaohs created monuments?

I think that Ancient Egyptian Pharaohs created monuments to show how important the gods, kings, and some pharaohs were. Monuments show how important they were because they have carved things into the monument of important times for the king. They have the king and all of the things she/he loved as a child or while she/he were growing up. It has different places that shows the pharaohs culture and what he/she did for the Egyptians. One room for king Tut was full of his organs. This is why the monuments are important. Also because it holds everything about the kings, pharaohs or gods.

What monuments in our society are similar?

There are a lot of monuments in our society that are similar. There is the eiffel tower and this is simular because they are both and important to their countries and they are big buildings. Twin tower is a monument and it is similar because again it is very important and it is an eye catcher around the world. London eye, big Ben, Washington monument, Lincoln memorial, tajmahal, statue of liberty, great wall of china, Sidney Oprah house, white house, are a few more examples they all symbolize something to there culture or country. For example, the statue of liberty symbolizes peace, justice and liberty for the Americans. As you can see that there are a lot of monuments in our society.

What did you learn about during this assignment?

I learned a lot about king Tut. I learned all about his monument and the five rooms, the antechamber, entrance, annex and the last two.... I also figured out how old he was when he first started his reign being king. He was 10 and when he died he was 6 inches tall when he died at age 19. King Tut prayed to only one god, Amen-re. He forced the entire Egypt to only worship one god, Amen-re. They all celebrated the festival of Amen-re or the Opet festival.

What was challenging?

I think that the challenging part was finishing it in time. We only had two days to make the entire imovie. Me and Kamilla recorded the entire thing and added all of the pictures. One the second day we added the real pictures and we didn't finish in time so we had to come in at lunch. We didn't finish it in 2 classes but we got it done. The only thing we didn't do was upload it.

What school wide learning results were evident in this assignment?

The school wide learning results that were evident in this assignment was collaborating constructively because we have to work together to do each half of the work and work together to finish everything in the amount of time that we had. We needed to collaborate constructively so that each of us can do a lot of work.
