The research process- The research process took the longest because there where a lot of steps involved in collecting sighting and organizing information and facts but luckily Mr Callaway gave us a website that we could use as an add on to collect and organised information. The website was called Cite lighter it helped me a lot to keep my facts organised and cited.
The first part of the process was gathering facts and information using Cite lighter. every time we captured a fact Cite lighter helped me cite it and then after that I captured more facts about Babylonian life style under Hammurabi II it was really interesting and i learned a lot about him and his people and economy.
The next part was organizing all my facts, introduction and conclusion in Cite lighter I also had to make an introduction and conclusion from scratch. After all of that I exported it to Google drive. In Google drive I fitted all the facts together so the would be organised and the different facts led to one another. The last part was just some final touches like spelling text size font color and other stuff.


What would I change- If I had the chance to do some thing differently I would have spent more time in citations because my citing was not organised and not complete.

Cite lighter- Cite lighter helped me a lot with organisation and fact citation witch was very useful and made my life 10 times easier I would recommend cite lighter for anyone who wants to wright an informational essay.

GarageBand

Garageband

GarageBand is a cool app available on the iPad to make audio (mp3) files, and we used it to create our radio show about Homo Habilis.

Garageband is simple to use. To begin, you open the app by tapping the icon on your homescreen. Once it opens you will be able to create a new “song,” which is what the projects are called on GarageBand. You can also record your voice, you can also play with instruments and you can also export whatever you have to your Email and sent it to anyone like your teacher or friend.

Early Humans

Early Humans

Out of all of our early human ancestors, during this unit we learned about Australopithecus Afarensis, Homo Habilis, Homo Erectus, Homo Sapiens Neanderthalensis, and Homo Sapiens Sapiens. Each hominid was more advanced than the ones which came before it. To begin with, Australopithecus Afarensis was the first hominid to be able to walk on two feet , which allowed them to use two hands to hunt etc...

After that, Homo Habilis came along. Homo Habilis was more advanced than Australopithecus Afarensis, and was able to use tools, which allowed them to hunt in an easy way.

Next came Homo Erectus. In addition to what Homo Habilis could do, Homo Erectus was able to use Fire to cook food, which allowed them to not get food poisoned.

After Homo Erectus came Homo Sapiens Neanderthalensis. They were able to control fire and had communities, which allowed them to resolve conflicts in a less violent way.

Finally, along came Homo Sapiens Sapiens, or “Early Modern Man.” These advanced hominids were able to talk and communicate easily and also built better more efficient homes , which allowed them to live a more luxurious life.
