This benchmark was based on information about king tut.  We had to research on the Egyptian royalty.  This was our first group project for history and we had to divide many things into groups.  There was the menu of the food we were going to serve, and the invitations to everyone that was on the list to go to the dinner.  Also the seating arrangements for each person and the rank of each person.  I had to do the food on the menu.

Our first benchmark was on the six institutions and how Americans and Who ever you chose were different and the same.

After visiting King Tut at the Franklin Instsitute, many views were raised on whether or not Museums should be allowed to diplay exhibts of such rich kings. There were oppositions and propositions on this topic. I propsed it saying that they should for 2 basic reasons, the exhibit can be used for educational puposes and that it provides needed revenue. I wrote a 5 paragraph essayon this and I think by far it was one of the best papers that I wrote in history thus far. 

This benchmark had to do with King Tutankhamen and museums. It was a 5paragraph paper. We had to choose a side of whether we think the museums should or should not display artifacts like King Tutankhamen. We made up an argument on paper and then had a debate in class. I was on the side of they should display artifacts like King Tutankhamen, and one of my reasons were that they were using it for mostly educational purposes. But I did not do the argument I was one of the judges.

For our 2nd quarter benchmark we had to make up a script. It had to give information about how they would trade back in Egypt and a brief summary of Mansa Musa and how he made Timbuktu, in the most creative way possible.

Our 1st benchmark from Mr.Baird was a letter informing a group of people about the BaMbuti tribe. It was supposed to tell about their background, the way they live and what their beliefs are. I had to write the letter out giving as much information as possible. Then I had it checked many times, after that I had to turn it in for a grade.

We did a lot of things for this benchmark. We told the story of Mansu Musa and Timbuktu and included details about the gold and salt trade and Mosques and Artitechture in Timbuktu. We also did a menu that planned a meal for King Tut. We had to plan an event so the project required a seating chart menu and games and recreation. It was a stellar project so it take a while to complete. The great thing about it was that it was a group project so the work was divided easily.

Well, it has been a while since i did this benchmark, so the details of whta it was escapes me. However, I do remember that it was about why the European was capable of enslaving Africans. One of the main things that we looked at, was guns, steel and germs. It was proven that the reason why Europenas were cabable of enslaving Africans was because of geography. More detail is present in the attatchment. This benchmark wasn't done sufficiently because i remembered that i stayed up one night and did it.

In this Benchmark we had to debate whether or not it was right or good to show King Tut's mummy in a museum and continue to dig up artifacts from the ancient tombs. i chose to argue that it is good to display the artifacts, so for this benchamark we had to think up several reasons why it was goodand one reason why it might be bad to argue to the other side.

This is my first marking period benchmark for history class. I learned about the six social institution and also about the tribes in west Africa that lived a long time ago.

After viewing the King Tut exhibit at the Franklin Instsitute, many opinions were formed on whether it was appropriate for the museum to display those artifacts or not. I was on the proposition for this benchmark and scored 96.
