Humanities Unit #2 Reflection- Prehistory+Early Humans

For this test I studied by using the method Ms.Moore taught us. I studied and went over the mind-map that we made and then made an Acronym for each of the big ideas. My acronyms told me what were the factors of this big idea they consisted of; Development of Culture- Lucy Baked And Ordered Eleven Strawberries, Tools-Hungry Flatulent Squirrels Chasing Hunting Gathering Fishing, Development of Human Anatomy- Peggy Learnt To Serve Eggs But Cold, Human Adaptation- Clones Say Fire May Trigger Physical Changes. I then wrote these things down on a scrap piece of paper, and used them to write out the mind-map.

This was a effective strategy because I was able to remember most things. And it left space for me to memorize small details and fact like exactly which time period a Hominid lived in or something else. The only bad thing is that in the beginning when it comes to writing everything down it is a little time consuming. You end up starting the test a little late. Next time I will probably use the same method because it was proved to be quite good when it came to taking the test because I felt prepared and not as worried as I could've been.

I think the most interesting thing I learned about in this unit was that how complex and different all the kinds of Hominids were. I didn't really realize before this unit how complex these prehistoric people were and how many different kinds there were. This made me think about the development of humans and really got me more interested. If we had more time to study this unit something I would like to learn about would be more about their family groups and how those were setup or even more about their village dynamics. Of course we knew that they had roles but I wish we could have learned more because it would've been interesting to learn.
