Reflections..

- What did you learn from working on this project? (Eg. teamwork, knowledge, about Ancient Civilisations, presentation skills, etc)

- I learnt that teamwork is very important as without it we could not done our project in time. As I am a researcher , I found out a lot of new things that i still did not know.Now after the project , I knew more about the ancient history.

- What can be improved about the way the project was carried out? (Eg. planning, research, presentation, model-making, etc)

- I think we should have more time on explanation rather than having a worsheet to complete as most of us would only rushed through to complete the worksheet without listening to the explanation.

Another is to , learn more about their religion like what they can eat , what are their religious days and what they cannot do.

How was religions and philosophies important to the people of the ancient civilisations?

- These would guide people on Ancient Civilisation on how to behave themselves or live their life.
If they did not believe on a certain religion it would be hard for the kings to have a standard way of ruling. Without it there would be riots.
