=Fifth Grade Wrap Up=

Yo! Fifth grade wrap up! The thing i enjoyed the most is maya, because it was really interesting, and the video series was very fun. It was cool learning about the maya culture, and the temples. All the things we studied were cool, because we found out how they lived, and we would compare it to how we live now. I always liked social studies, because it is very interesting. The reports we wrote about them weren't that hard. Social studies was cool this year.

=__Egyptian Research Project__=

For the Egyptian research project, I studied Ramses II. It was interesting learning about him, but it was hard finding info about him. There would be lots of websites about him, but they all had the same information. I ended up with 27 notecards, barely edgible to pass.I put them in a good arrangment, and I started my essay. I finished it in about 40 minutes, and handed it to the teacher. Then when I got it back to edit, I realized I had a lot of mistakes. See, I write in a very unformal way, so I needed to serious it up. So I edited it, and handed it back in. Also, for my egyptian project, I printed out a picture and pasted it on another piece of paper, then I drew a picture of the picture next to it, and wrote some stuff. It was pretty simple, but it didn't look that bad. I think I could have spent more time on it though. The most successful part of this project for me was my essay, and how I explained it. I edited it and it turned out much better. The most difficult part for me was note taking, there just wasn't any fresh information about Ramses II. Next time, I think I should try to stop talking to my neighbor and focus a little more. If I get that down, I think next time my research project will be perfect.
