In this project, we will create a stop motion and an epic. The driving question is “How are social injustices created?” . We will incorporate a civilization from world history, elements from chemistry, transformations from math, Spanish dialogue from Spanish, and an epic from world literature. We will also use our digital art/editing skills to create backgrounds and characters in our stop motion. Lastly, we will present it to children in middle or elementary school.
In this project we were tasked with building civilization to mimic how building would be in ancient civilizations like Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, and China. I smashed mud and water, with my feet, to make a clay like consistency. Later, someone put the mud into a rectangular mold to get the brick shape. This project helped show me how it would be like to build civilizations.
The Columbian Exchange was an exchange of religion, animals, foods, people and disease from the new world to the old world. It was not a trade and named after Christopher Columbus. In this project, we were split into two groups and were given a Hampshire. Then you had to bring foods that originated from your hemisphere and your group had to cook a meal using all the ingredients your group was given. This project helped me better understand the foods that originated from my hemisphere and other groups' hemispheres when I saw what they cooked.
