Time travelers essay

Project description:
In this assignment, we were asked to do research on a particular civilization and produce a three page essay on it. We followed a certain format.

Process:
First, we were assigned an ancient civilization and pillars. I was assigned Assyrian religion. I then researched about it. We received a handout showing the format we needed to follow for our essay. The drafting and revision process began.

Reflection:
I have learned so much from doing this assignment. Not only about Assyrian religion, but also how to strengthen my thesis. A good thesis consists of a concessive, according to my teacher. :)

Time travelers pillar

Project Description:
In this particular assignment, we were asked to choose a picture that best represented your civilization's pillar. Then, we had to paint the pillar.

Process:
After much research, I found a picture of the Assyrian God, Assur. I then drew out my design, and got it approved. Then, I began to paint my pillar.

Reflection:
I honestly believed I learned a few things, doing this assignment. Yet, I believe I did not use the Habit of Mind, ownership because I think I could've done much better and put for effort and detail into my painting.
