Just Tell Me Something...


As a student in the 21st century, you have a huge advantage in learning. What is this huge advantage, you ask? The Internet. I am a huge fan of computers and the internet (perhaps even obsessed) but I honestly think it is a great tool to use in our learning, and I think most people would agree. Being that we have the internet and tons of instant information at our disposal, it would be a shame for us not to use it. As we start out in our Ancient World journey, lets dive in and see what we can find. For this blog activity, please, Just Tell Me Something! Your task is below.

Task #1: Using the websites under "Browse the Ancient World" on the right side of WSG, read about the ancient world and tell me Five (5) things you either learned or thought was interesting from the websites. Try to tell me about a variety of places, not just five things about one place. I want YOU to tell me something about the ancient world. Use complete sentences and number each piece of information you share. (1-5)

Remember, sign your name with the correct format: 3Dan K. (if i were in period 3)

IMPORTANT: This blog activity is worth 20 completion points. DUE: Friday, September 9th, at Midnight.

I think its cool how they had a Buddha that tought people about 1 path to salvation. 5. Ancient Greece - Its cool how they had Games and festivals that were very important to there part of life.

4bradyd said...

Greece-During the 5th century BC Sparta was very powerful. This was due to her army, which was feared by other Greeks. Sparta focused on producing good soldiers and all Spartan male citizens were part of the army. The Spartan army played an important role in the Greek victory over the Persians, in 480-479 BC.


Egypt- Many pharaohs went to war when their land was threatened or when they wanted to control foreign lands. If the pharaoh won the battle, the conquered people had to recognise the Egyptian pharaoh as their ruler and offer him the finest and most valuable goods from their land.


Mesopotamia- Demons were created by the gods with human bodies and animal or bird heads. They could be either evil or good. Monsters were a mixture of animals and birds.




Rome-The Roman Army developed fighting techniques that were linked to a ferocious training regime. All new recruits to the army became very fit and disciplined. Training was harsh, as were punishments for failure. In a battle, new recruits were always placed at the front of the more experienced soldiers in the army. There were three reasons for this. The first was to give them confidence as behind them were experienced soldiers who had fought in battles before. Secondly, it stopped the new soldiers running away if their courage deserted them. Finally, those who were more likely to be killed in the initial phase of a battle were at the front. The hardened and experienced legionnaires were at the rear. The Roman Army could ill afford to lose experienced legionnaires whereas if a new legionnaire came through a battle alive, he would be blooded and experienced and a valuable addition to the army. If he was killed, then the loss of his inexperience would not be too great.


India- Through seeking guidance and meditation, Siddhartha achieved Enlightenment. From that point, he was known as the Buddha, which means 'Enlightened One'. For the rest of his life, the Buddha travelled great distances teaching people about one path to salvation


Egypt- The ancient Egyptians built pyramids as tombs for the pharaohs and their queens. The pharaohs were buried in pyramids of many different shapes and sizes from before the beginning of the Old Kingdom to the end of the Middle Kingdom.


There are about eighty pyramids known today from ancient Egypt. The three largest and best-preserved of these were built at Giza at the beginning of the Old Kingdom. The most well-known of these pyramids was built for the pharaoh Khufu. It is known as the 'Great Pyramid'.

China- Jade and bronze were the most prized materials in Ancient China. Jade was believed to have magical properties and to preserve the dead.

(1) One thing I thought was really cool would have to be Egyptian Life. I thought Egyptian Life was cool because when it was yearly flooding the water actually helped them by giving them good harvests and wealth to the land.
(2) Another thing I thought was cool was the Pyramids. The Ancient Egyptians built pyramids as tombs for the Pharaohs and their queens. The Pharaohs were buriedin pyramids in many different shapes and sizes.
(3) Something i found very interesting is china. China is the worlds fourth largest country and is home to approximately 1.25 billion people! That is nearly a quarter of the world's population.
(4) Out of all the ancient and goddeses and stuff i like Ancient Greece the most. Sparta is ruled by two kings and a council of Elders. During the 5th century BC Sparta was very powerful, this was due by her army.

People in Ancient Egypt was mostley survived off of the nile river for farming, water ,and raising cattle.

In Ancient India there were many rivers making the ground fertile. One of the main rivers was the Indus river in the north west.

1. Daily life in ancient Egypt revolved around the Nile and the fertile land along its banks.The yearly flooding of the Nile enriched the soil and brought good harvests and wealth to the land.

2.The ancient Greeks believed there were a great number of gods and goddesses. These gods had control over many different aspects of life on earth. In many ways they were very human. They could be kind or mean, angry or pleasant, cruel or loving. They fell in love with each other, argued with each other and even stole from each other.

3.The Roman Army is recognised by historians as an extremely effective fighting machine. Ironically, its success also led to its downfall. The lowest level of soldier in the Roman Army was the legionnaire. Between 5000 and 6000 legionaries made up a legion that was commanded by a legatus. Legionnaires were trained to fight in a disciplined and co-ordinated manner. A whole legion could be punished for failing to fight well in battle - even if the Romans did win the battle itself. Training was brutal and tough but it paid huge dividends for the Romans.

4.The ancient Chinese believed that life carried on after death. People believed they would continue to do the things they had done in this life in the afterlife. Tombs were arranged with the objects that people would need in the afterlife - weapons, ritual vessels and personal ornaments.

5.The people of Mesopotamia believed that their world was controlled by gods and goddesses, demons and monsters.There were hundreds of gods who were responsible for everything in the world, from rivers and trees to making bread and pottery.

#1 In the stoneage they had no wrighting so the only way we can find out things about them is through artifacts.

#2 The Xia are believed to be the earliest of these dynasties. However, so far no written evidence has been found that tells us about the Xia. From about 1500 to 1050 B.C. the people known as the Shang came to rule the area. In 1050 B.C. the Zhou, western neighbours of the Shang, rose against the Shang and defeated them in battle. In 771 B.C. the Zhou king was killed by an alliance of enemy tribesmen and a few Zhou representatives. The Zhou were finally deposed in 256 B.C.
#3 The Roman Army was extremely important in explaining the success of the Romans and the expansion of the Roman Empire. The Roman Army, at the peak of its power, conquered what we now call England/Wales, Spain, France, most of Germany, the northern coast of Africa, the Middle East and Greece


#4 With Carthage defeated, the Romans became the most powerful Mediterranean state. The victory over the Carthaginians gave the Romans all the opportunity they needed to expand their power in the Mediterranean. The more wealthy and powerful the Romans became, the more able they were to further expand their empire.


#5 The ancient Egyptians believed that temples were the homes of the gods and goddesses. Every temple was dedicated to a god or goddess and he or she was worshipped there by the temple priests and the pharaoh

1. Daily life in ancient Egypt revolved around the Nile and the fertile land along its banks.The yearly flooding of the Nile enriched the soil and brought good harvests and wealth to the land.

2.The ancient Greeks believed there were a great number of gods and goddesses. These gods had control over many different aspects of life on earth. In many ways they were very human. They could be kind or mean, angry or pleasant, cruel or loving. They fell in love with each other, argued with each other and even stole from each other.

3.The Roman Army is recognised by historians as an extremely effective fighting machine. Ironically, its success also led to its downfall. The lowest level of soldier in the Roman Army was the legionnaire. Between 5000 and 6000 legionaries made up a legion that was commanded by a legatus. Legionnaires were trained to fight in a disciplined and co-ordinated manner. A whole legion could be punished for failing to fight well in battle - even if the Romans did win the battle itself. Training was brutal and tough but it paid huge dividends for the Romans.

4.The ancient Chinese believed that life carried on after death. People believed they would continue to do the things they had done in this life in the afterlife. Tombs were arranged with the objects that people would need in the afterlife - weapons, ritual vessels and personal ornaments.

5.The people of Mesopotamia believed that their world was controlled by gods and goddesses, demons and monsters.There were hundreds of gods who were responsible for everything in the world, from rivers and trees to making bread and pottery.
