Reflection for Unit 1- Understanding History and Archaeology

After finishing this unit I have learned so much about how archaeologists go about doing their job, I have learned about the steps they take, the precautions that are practiced and have actually gotten the chance to experience what it is like for archaeologist to do a real excavation. With history I have learned about the daily lives of the people before us, I have seen in books what kinds of tools they used and how they used them and also when.
What I found the most interesting was probably studying Stonehenge and what kinds of theories about why it was built are our there.It was also interesting to see why these theories or conclusions were drawn and what evidence had made researchers choose these theories.
I have learned how to organize my notebook and use it as a very effective learning tool. I found that I learned a lot through out this unit which will help me later on in studies and life.
