Our epic elements project is a bunch of smaller projects about things we have learned in each class all combined into one. Every class has different topics like books, making a stop motion, social injustice, ancient civilizations and using transformations.

During unit 1 we covered ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, and China. While we covered these civilizations I learned a lot of new words like polis, triumvirate, and citadel. Also I learned about wars form different time periods, empires, governments, and the different lifestyles. We also had an ancient civilizations mini project where we were able to experience what it's like to build ancient structures at that time. During this project I helped make mud bricks and made mud for the bricks.
