Ancient Civilization Presentation

     The Ancient Civilization presentations were very wonderful. There were 6 presentations namely the Mayans, Greeks, Cree, Chinese, Indians and Egyptians. The presentations were put on the Prezi, which was another way to present other than the powerpoint. It is sort of like the powerpoint, but much better and you can do more to it. Learning the ancient civilizations I think, is very important. It tells us about the past and how it all started. I really liked the presentations, and I learned a lot of interesting facts. A part of each presentation that was very fun to watch was the infomercial. In the infomercial, we went back in time in our civilization and reported something about it like we were on the news. The background was a place of our civilization. The students put a lot of effort into their presentations and they really took their time, that's why the presentations looked creative and attractive. They put in a lot of important and interesting facts, wonderful pictures and videos.

Mr. Benjoe's Presentation

Mr. Benjoe's presentation was very interesting. It was about the Cree people and how they should be referred to as. Mr. Benjoe explained a lot about it and he shared to us something about himself. He explained them clearly and I was able to understand his presentation very well. I learned that "native" people shouldn't be called "indians" because that is very inappropriate and that they are not. They are supposed to be called according to the group of people that they belong. Mr. Benjoe also told us about some words and definitions about his culture. I also learned about where he came from and about his name. Surprisingly, he said that his name was just made up and it originated from something.
