Ancient Greece: Humanities

We have just started a new topic in Humanities class: Ancient Greece. The mind map is about what my class would really want to know about Ancient Greece including many things like mythology, army and navy, sports, wars, geography, art... etc. The two I chose were Building (architecture) and Inventions of ancient greece. My favourite was actually one someone had already taken which was Mythology. We used mindmeister to create this mind map online, it has a broad range of styles and creativity tools for you to jot down ideas or notes for classes. I prefer taking notes on the computer compared to paper as it is neater and quicker to do. This Humanities project I am looking foward to doing as Ancient Greece ties in with almost everything we do in life (architecture, language, clothing, art... etc)

What I'm Learning In Humanities



I chose this video to post because in Humanities we are currently studying Weathering and Erosion.  I liked because this video is because it's not like a bunch of old scientists explaining what it is without breathing and speaking in the same tone all the way boringly, its a bunch of cartoons with energetic voices, in this video they explain it using superheros from a video game and how one superhero (breaker) who breaks things and changed the surroundings like weathering and the other (swoosh) takes all the remains away like erosion! I prefer being taught like this instead of having a sheet of paper where we have to memories a whole bunch of words. This video mainly summarises what i already know and confirms that i'm certain of the basics on the subject, maybe this video will either help you with your studies or teach you knew things!
