In our world history class, we've been studying some of the earliest civilizations, including Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, and China. Today, we had the chance to experience what it might have been like to build their homes by making mud bricks using just mud, water, and holes. It was really interesting to see how people back then used natural materials to create their shelters. I learned that when you're trying to survive outside, you can use simple resources from nature in creative ways to meet your needs. This ties into what we're reading in world literature/comp, where we're exploring the ancient civilization of Mesopotamia in more detail. It's cool to see how the lessons in both classes connect!Â
An "I Am" poem is a type of self-reflective poem where I use the first person ("I am") to describe my identity, emotions, experiences, and perceptions. It allows me to express my personal thoughts, feelings, and aspects of myself in a creative and introspective way.Â
