Project
In my world history class, I explored various ancient civilizations and their ways of life. For this project, we focused on understanding how these civilizations built their societies and how their traditions could still be relevant today. As part of the project, we mixed mud, water, and straw with our feet to create bricks using molds, and we also built small tents using materials like rope, bamboo, tree branches, and leaves. It was fascinating to observe my group applying ancient techniques and traditions. Through this hands-on experience, I gained insight into the daily lives of people in ancient times. This project connected to Dr. Kurt’s class, where we made pottery—a practical skill that was an essential part of everyday life in the ancient world.
Columbian Exchange Reflection
Columbian Exchange Reflection
The Columbian Exchange refers to the transfer of food items, people, and diseases between the Old World and the New World. This exchange had a significant impact on the societies involved. Diseases were also transferred from the Old World to the New World. Due to strained relations between some countries, Spain and Portugal began exploring new trade routes.
Several items were transferred from the New World to the Old World, including tomatoes, squash, corn, and other crops. One example of a dish that reflects the influence of both worlds is spaghetti, a meal that I particularly enjoy.
For our PBL (Project-Based Learning) project, I served as the cook and planner for my group. Although I did not bring any items, I introduced the idea of creating a healthy bowl that included meat and vegetables such as corn, onions, peppers, broccoli, and potatoes.
