Mohenjo Daro

This city is a mystery. Mohenjo Daro is a cleanliness city. Archaeologists found out that they had a great civilization. The people of mohenjo Daro had all the same size of houses and none of the houses was better than the others. That means that there was no government, leader or king. Mohenjo Daro also had a drainage sysem. Each resident had his own bath, which is attached to the drainage system. Here you can see how smart the people of Mohenjo Daro were. They also traded with other city.
For Archaeologists this ruin of a city is mystery. Nobody knows how it got destroyed until one theory came up. The city might be destroyed by a river which flooded. Many scientists try to find out more about Mohenjo Daro but that's hopeless. This city is a mystery and will always be one.

Compare all three maps:

1)  How do physical features, climate and elevation relate to each other?
The only different I found at the beginning was that one is 3-dimensional and the others are flat. Basically they are all really similar. If  you would not know what the colors mean you would say that they are the same.
I saw something similar. You don't need a climate map to find out the climate. If you look on the elevation map, you can see the height of India. As everybody knows if it is higher then the climate is colder. That means that the Himalayas are really cold and that's what the climate map also says.

2)What conclusions can you draw?
In conclusion I would say that the maps are very similar to each other. They look the same only that there is one 3-dimensional. I found it interesting that you can find out the climate without using a climate map.

Hanuman

Hanuman the monkey god 

Hanuman is an Indian god who looks like a monkey. In India they have a lot of gods but now I will write about the monkey god. Some people believe that he was the son of a king and the queen of the monkeys. But Hanuman can also fly that's why other people believe that he is the son of Anjana, who is a female tha has turned into a monkey, and of the wind god. That's why he can fly the wind god gave him the skill. The problem was that Hanuman was a monkey and monkeys are normally not useful. Hanuman was pestering the saints in the forests. This is a little information about the monkey god Hanuman.

Ancient Egypt reflction

The IB learner profile:

Communicators: I had to communicate with my partner for the map a lot. We also tried to communicate with other groups to find something out we did not know. Without the communication that would have been a bad project for us.

Knowledgeable: I knew a lot about Egypt because I already studied it in my old school so I just had to remember it. I liked the project where we had to teach the students because I had to write an essay and I was in Egypt. We learned a lot in Egypt and I had to write about their daily life(Entertainment). I saw a wedding and so it was easy for me to write the essay. Now I am very knowledgeable about the Egyptian life and about their history.

Open-minded: I am open minded because I love to learn about other cultures and how they live. That's why I wanted to write about the Egyptian life. I think I made a good essay because I wanted to learn about the Egyptian daily life. That's what makes me open-minded.

Risk taker: I am a risk taker because I want to try everything I can even when I am not that good at stuff. I don't care if I do something wrong because on the next day it will be forgotten so I just try.

Approaches to Learning Categories:

Collaborative: This is like open-minded so I took it. I also took it because I ask a lot of question my partner and we discussed a lot at the group project. I always discuss with my partner about something.

Communication: I was not presenting but I know that I am never or just a bit nervous when I have to present. I actually enjoy presenting to the class.
