Essay

Today I started my essay and finished my first two paragraphs. There isn't anything else really to say.

SORRY =(

I am so veeeeeeeeeeery sorry that so many of my blogposts didn't publish, as you will probably see from the blog. But really, everyone else's didn't either, so.......... today we had a planning day and so did we yesterday. that's basically it.

Blogger wasn't working...... sorry!

I missed about two days worth of blogposts, due to the fact that it just didn't connect. So, I'm making up for it now. The first day in the lab I used the online enxyclopedias that proved to be a good source. On Grolier, I found 9 pages worth of information, which proved to be quite useful, and with lots of nice details that I otherwise wouldn't have gotten. Focusing on the governmental characteristic, I managed to find enough informatinon on Grolier, and on the Multimedia Site links.

Lab- sorry that I haven't written in an age.... :? he he...

Hey there. Sorry that I haven't written. Today's is going to be a "double-lesson" one. Yesterday I focused on how the Indus Valley was governed and who governed it, and that kinda stuff. Today I tried to find more info by asking direct questions instead of just googling: "indus valley government"; I wrote sentences like: " who governed the indus valley?", "what type of government did the indus valley civilization have?", etc. It's a shame that archeologists & language experts still haven't deciphered the Indus script, because there is soooo much info hidden in their writing. But I guess they're doing their best, *sigh*. 

I'll write again tomorrow (promise).

See ya!

Simone ^-^

LAB: first- and second day.

Today I found some very good info from some of the sites mentioned in the Multimedia Resources page. The one set up by the British Museum on Ancient Civilisations was very helpful, and so was the BBC one about the IVC. Another good site was (as usual) Wikipedia , as well as Harappa, which offers ton of information on the Harappans. Google Images also helped me find some images about the artifacts. Yesterday we also had to write a summarizing "paragraph" for each characteristic, but I did one page for each. The holdiay is here and so I can have a rest and come back full of energy and ready to work. :)
