Vishnu

Vishnu is the supreme god in the Vaishnavism tradition of Hinduism. Vishnu is described having divine color of water filled clouds. He is one of the three main gods, known as the preserver, while the other two are the creator and destroyer. The belief that Vishnu is the preserver in Hinduism cam quite after the creation of the religion. When the nine powers on Earth are upset and not equal it is fought Vishnu comes to equalize them and make them fair. Vishnu is portrayed as blue or black shinned and has four arms. He has a thousand names and their repetition is an act of devotion.

Map reflection

Our three maps are very similar. The maps show different aspects of India and when you sum it up you learn a lot about the climate, elevation and physical features. They relate to each other in the way that it all makes since the climate for example depends on the elevation and and physical features.The area is a desert there surely wouldn't be rain forest climates. Or in the Himalaya's there wouldn't we ocean climate.

I through this I can draw a lot of conclusions about India. An example is where people settled, through observing the map I see, most of the main cities are located on flat land which is at a pretty low altitude usually not exceeding 400 meters. Through the map I can also draw a conclusion that weather in India varies in each part of this massive country but that they have two main seasons, the normal one were, during the days it's pretty hot and the monsoon one were it keeps on raining.

As you can see you can observe and learn a lot about a country by only studying it's map.

Lost City of Mohenjo Daro

Archeologists didn't know the Indus civilization existed until 1921 when in the are of modern day Pakistan scientists found the ancient and mysterious city of Mohenjo Daro. The city was organised, which meant that the people were great Urban planners, and easily controlled water.

One interesting fact about the city is that it has nor palaces nor temples, which meant they didn't have a king or queen who ruled the whole time. Experts believe, Mohenjo Daro was a city-state that was governed bye elected leaders, such as modern day president's.

Unlike most religions and beliefs their one was based on something else. The closest found to a temple in the town of Mohenjo Daro was a building that somewhat represented a temple. It is believed that this ancient civilization believed in cleanness every house had a well and a bathroom.

Ancient Egypt Reflection

While studying ancient Egypt we learned a lot. We learned how there daily lives looked like, and how a lot of the technology and customs were based on the ones Egyptians made. While learning about Egyptians we did not just learn facts, we used a lot of the MYP learner profile traits. The trait I think was the most important and we all used the most was thinking, we were thinkers. We connected Egyptians to the modern world, and realized how much we actually got from them. We also thought about how were similar yet different them Egyptians. The second was communicating, we used this skill mostly while presenting are projects we communicated with our classmates and thats how they learned the topic. Thirdly I used Inquiry, I asked myself questions on the lives, and different periods in Egyptian history, and at the end of the unit I had answers to most of them. And Lastly I used Reflection, At the end of the unit I reflected on The whole theme. What I learned during this unit and how I could use it.
