The Summative assignment, we made our own board game, my board game type is strategy game, I made 66 handwritten questions and made some gameboards that my classmates can play around with.

I used sketchup for my 3D castle drawing, I don’t have minecraft and I tried using sketchup, sketchup is an app kind of confusing but i did overtake this challenge.

My favorite part of this unit is the trebuchet contest, we made models so we can learn and have fun at the same time, our group won because of the weight we added right before we put it on to a test.

I think the changes that I can do is that I do more challenge activities first so I can slow down at the end, I can then keep track of the point sheet and see how many points I still needed and I can do more of those at the end.

This is the coat of arms that I drew for individual and societies. The coat of arms represent me as a person. There are descriptions for what the symbols and colors mean.

Key concept: Systems (definition): Systems are sets of interacting or interdependent components. Systems provide structure and order in human, natural and built environments. Systems can be static or dynamic, simple or complex. For individuals and societies, systems thinking provides a powerful tool for understanding both natural and human environments, and the role of individuals within them. Social and natural systems rely on a state of equilibrium and are vulnerable to change from internal and external forces.

In this unit, we learned about the Greek and their military, especially the Spartans. We were asked to create a project explaining everything. We learned how the system is formed, and how they fell apart, and the Greco-Persian Wars, it’s about the Persian invasion, and the Greeks are trying to force them out their city-states.

At first I didn’t know anything about the Greeks, I only heard of them, after this unit, things are so clear in my mind, Greeks are awesome and powerful. Below is a video I made that can help you learn more about the Greek Military. ENJOY!
