Humanities+myp1

Nice work Katy... one point in the summary - although I think it would be great to be called the oracle of Sea World, it is actually the Oracle of Siwa (name of a place). Lots of great detail and research. Make sure you go over it all in the end to check spellings and grammar and make sure that it all makes sense. Sometimes you need to think that its ok to say more with less!

Summary contains some accurate information || ** 7/8 Able to clearly locate different places and show them on map that relate to clips. ** **A wide range of specific information given in the summary.** || Very well annotated map showing exact location of video clips with date and specific events that occurred as backed up with a well written summary of events. ||
 * Difficulty in placing video clips to location on map or time. Very simple summary, no specifics || Fairly accurate location of video clip either in place or time. Simplified summary with little specifics || Location of clips recognized and an idea of date shown.
 * Explanation for reasons why Alexader was Great are minimal or absent. No specific information. || Lacking depth in analysis. Explanations are simple with few facts given to back up reason for Alexanders Greatness || Satisfactory level of analysis showing supporting evidence from own section and others to give reasons for Alexanders “Greatness” || **Analysis of Greatness in greater detail with good evidence shown on most of the issues.** || High level of analysis of idea of “great” – good reasons and excellent explanations with thorough evidence. Is aware of “however”. ||

Rubric for mr.piers to use:

 * ** B: ** Accuracy – Did you follow conventions with maps. – Border, Title, key, scale. || some evidence || errors in conventions || only occasional errors in conventions || conforming to all conventions ||

rubric filled in by myself: It should be neat, accurate and have a key attached to it with a title and a scale || Not very accurate or well planned. Messy and no real feel for the 3D environment || Model starting to look like the area but still some errors in adding information to the model. || Contours are shown and the model shows the area clearly. However may still miss some aspects of the environment. Key added but not all required points on the map. || Clear use of contours to show 3D. Main features of landscape added. E.g. school, roads. Well constructed and clear. Key excellent and clear. ||
 * ** Task 1 ** || ** 1-2 ** || ** 3-4 ** || ** 5-6 ** || ** 7-8 ** ||

Not enough photos. || Accurate placing of points and photos. May not contain enough photos or written information too limited || Tour on mapwing which contains photos. Or video tour, or extremely well described tour with photos. ||

google earth project By:katie Cothran

UNIT 1 REFLECTION: i have learnt so much about the world and how to create things with google earth and basically gathering knowledge about humanities. I found it really interesting when we learnt about the world and used are knowledge in games! I have learnt and gathered so much knowledge. iI look forward to are next unit and learning more interesting things leading to Humanities. I also look forward to mr. Piers sharing his knowledge with us because he always makes it interesting, and i learn new things in humanities every single DAY!!

UNIT 2 REFLECTION: I found that the Ascent Of Man topic was very interesting. I came to this conclusion because when we first looked at the video of cave men and when it told us the different type of Sapiens i was really excited, because i knew nothing at all about homo erectus and the different type of sapiens. I have become so knowledgeable and learned about the artifacts they left behind, meaning of these Ancient Cave paintings and how we have changed rapidly past these millions of years ! I also learn a lot about the materials they used to create these cave paintings and how they created these Ancient artifacts that people are still finding today, how they had much more difficulties then we have today, and how communication could have made things worse! All in all i really enjoyed this unit! I learned all of this from mr.Piers who is the moist knowledgeable person i know!!
