The most interesting topic I have learned in history is probably the Civil War. I really like the Civil War because Abraham Lincoln is my favorite president. I also know a lot about Abe Lincoln because he was a great leader in this country. I am really looking forward to learning about the Civil War this year.

Milena,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on having the first blog response of the year!! We will be learning about the Civil War in the spring but there are many other interesting topics before then, don't worry!! Remember to use your FIRST name, last INITIAL ONLY and period when posting. I look forward to a great year! Thanks!

If I had to choice my favorite topic I learned in Social Studies it would have to be the Mesopotamians. The reason why I loved learning about them so much is that at such an early period in time it intrigued me upon how much they had invented. Also, my favorite project for Social Studies was the time capsules. When we did the time capsules I just thought it was a good way of testing home much we learned. It also kept everyone interested because you could also learn new things you didn't know before.
ReplyDeleteLastly, what I'm looking forward to learning about this year is Roanoke. I know that if I have Mrs. Morales that it will be much more fun than reading that boring book from fifth grade. I'm so excited to learn about american history this year.
Kate B 10-11 A
The topic I am most excited to learn about this year is the story of Jamestown. We are always reading about mysteries and maybe even writing one, but I find it to be extremely interesting that America has a mystery of its own. I like to come up with my own expanation for as to why and how everyone just disappeared. Its almost like your creating the history of the United States of America. I can't wait to learn more about the famouse mystery of Jamestown.

The most interesting topic i've learned over the past few years in social studies over the past few years is about the Myan civilization. In the Myan cililization there was fight for survival every day. Forging for food evry day with dangerous animals everyt where. However i liked the Myans for a very diffrent reason. I liked the Myans for there bloody sacrifices to their gods.

The historical person I am most excited to learn about this year will be George Washington. I am most excited to learn about George Washington is because he was the first president of our country and I would like to learn what made him decide to even want to be the president and his life before being president. Learning about his life will be very interesting because I will be able to look at him more than just a president. I will be able to see him as a person, a hard worker, and maybe I could see him as a role model after I learn about his life before and after being president.

The most interesting thing in learned in social studies over the past few years are, the ancient greek civilization. This is my favorite thing we learned about because it related to our core novel book in sixth grade The lightining thief because the book had greek mythology that we would learn in our social studies class. Another reason why we liked the greek civilization was bescause a lot of the things the greeks used then are also used as we speak.

I think the most exciting topic in social studies that I have learned so far was about Roanoke. I like it becuase it make me wonder where the missing colony went. It is strange how so many people went missing. It is my favorite thing if learned about in social studies.

in 5th grade we learned about the holocost. This was interesting because it was about hitler and we learned why he was so bad. Also, he was jewish and he killed other jewish people which makes no sense. In conclusion we think he is crazy and a very mean man.
ReplyDeleteBy Brendan Doherty and Ty Bjornsund
The most interesting topic I learned is in fifth grade and it was the Holocaust. It interested me when I heard Hitlers diabolical actions against the Jews. Another thing is that I like a little action when I read and learn. Finally, the more and more I learned the more I wanted to keep learning about Hitler trying to rule over Europe. The Holocaust is my favorite Social Studies topic.

My favorite topic that I learned about in 5th grade is the Mayans. It was interesting what they did and how they lived back then. Even though some things were crule, it was still fun to learn about.

An intresting thing I would like to learn about this year is The Decleration Of Independance. I think it is facinating how that basically made up our country. Its a time where it actually was "One Nation Under God.". Where real gentelman were. Now, the closest to a gentelman that you see is someonje who holds the door for you. Also, how the girls dressed was amazing. Petticoats, dresses, and NO UNDERWEAR!

The most interesting thing that I have ever learned in Social Studies is the Revolutionary War. TO me, it is ore interesting to learn about my own county's history rather than another country's history. I like learning about our history, especially the wars. I wonder if we will learn about that this year, not just the colonies. Though, the colonies are interesting too.
ReplyDeleteOlivia E Peroiod 10-11 A
The most interesting topic I learned in Social Studies is Roanoke because it's amazing how an entire civilization just dissapeared. There is no evidence where they went, meanwhile we know exactly how they lived and thrived through life. That to me is amazing.

The most interesting topic I learned was about World War 2.It was one of the best topics that I knew about.I watch a show called "Hetalia" that talks about the countries and meetings they had, it is also a comedy show. But the real reason I thought WWII was interesting was because it had so many things going on and the countries I like were in it including Japan,Russia,China,Germany, and Italy. I remember the two groups were Axis Powers and Allied Powers . We were on the Allied powers with Russia,France,England,China.I really enjoyed learning about this.

Out of all the interesting things I learned about last year, ancient Greek was my favorite topic. I found pyramids, tombs, pharaohs, and hieroglyphics especially fascinating. It was also fun to find out about King Tutankhamen, who died at a young age. Finally, out of everything, my favorite thing to learn about was how people discovered tombs and what they found in them. I enjoyed listening about how the pyramids had a variety of traps. And how the egyptologists got through them. I hope that we learn more about Egypt this year!

I liked most of the topics we learned about last year but my favorite would be the ancient egyptians. I have always enjoyed learning about Egypt even when I was younger. The architecture in ancient Egypt was amazing and I wish to see some of it someday if I ever go to Egypt. The sphinx and the pyramids are my favorite structures in Egypt. Also, I enjoyed learning about the mummies and the famous pharaohs such as King Tut. How the mummies were buried was always fascinating as well. Some of their ceremonies and festivals sound very interesting and how they please their gods. One day I wish to become an egyptologist and explore Egypt.

My favorite subject that i learned about in social studies is the lost colony of Roaoke. It made me wonder what hapened to the colony and how it dissapeared.
