Homework Block B and G (Feb 7/8)

1. What did you learn from this task?
In this task of making a wikispace, I learned a lot about ancient
Zimbabwe such as their food, clothing, and Great Zimbabwe. I learned that they ate birds, sheep, and other wild animals. Their main grain was millet. The rich people of ancient Zimbabwe wore clothes made of silk, cotton, and damask. I also learned how to enhance my seaches on the internet using the Boolean operators.
2. Did you find this difficult or easy? Why?
What I found difficult about this task was finding information on the internet because there was barely any good information about ancient
Zimbabwe. Most websites were just travel guides. The easier part of this task was putting the information that I found on the wiki in my own words. I found this easy because when I know the information and completely understand it, it is easy to explain the information in my own words.
3.What would you change about the process you went through to complete the wiki if you were to do the assignment again?
If I were to do the assignment again, I would try to find more information and research more so that my page could have more detail. I would only be able to do this though, if we had a bit more time because there was barely any good information about ancient Zimbabwe on the internet and none of the books in the library had good information either. I would’ve also not wasted so much of my time trying to find good information on the internet, and looked at the packet instead.
