Part 2 of History Head Project: Comments


Hey Lynn,

I liked how you drew all your images.  They really came out nice and definitely added a lot of creativity to your project. All the pictures were a perfect size and could be easily seen.  The writing for both the key and the timeline, on the other hand, could have been a little bit larger.  You have to get pretty close in order to read them.  Both of our societies, mine was India, had patriarchal societies and a leader to run the society or kingdoms of the society.  However, there were differences between our two societies.  Unlike the Mesoamerican king who had servants and seemed to have more control, the Indian tribal chief had advisers and much less power.  I’m just wondering why you chose to put the calendar as part of the first theme, interaction between humans and environment?  It seems more fitting for the second theme, which incorporates science and technology.

Hey Holly,
 
The idea of constructing the caste system yourself was very creative.  I also liked how you showed the nomadic tribes that influenced ancient China.  Some of the images were unclear though, and it was difficult to figure out what they represented.  You could try getting clearer pictures or drawing them in yourself next time.  I did my history head on India and it also had a caste system that they had to follow.  However, China’s had more distinctions; India only had four.  I also noticed something different between the societies.  Even though both were influenced by outside tribes, unlike yours, which used them to assist in trade, India interacted with them more culturally and adopted some of their religious beliefs.  I just was not sure what theme the picture outside the head on the bottom right and the one inside all the way to the right depicted?
