=__//**China**//__= __//**China was a very fun unit. I learned a lot from the books and read at a good pace for me. I also understood most of what I read. I may need to work on taking notes without help, but I understand what we are talking about. I think I did a pretty good job on partcipating in taking notes in groups though. I think I know the geography of Asia well and can remember it pretty well. I think that I did a pretty good job with the games, but it didn't show my very best work. In this unit I think I improved in working in groups and reading carefully. I think I can still use room for improvment in note-taking though, and that will be my focus for next unit. Overall, I think that the China unit was my best unit and I did a great job.**//__

=__**//Egypt//**__=

//=**Mesopotamia**=// =**Things I can Teach Others**= Matching words to information, answer true or false questions, explain the climate and geography of Mesopotamia, explain the development of writing, give my opinion on the most important invention of Sumerain times.

=**Things I Can do in Class**= Give facts about the main emperors of Sumer.

=**Things I Need to Work on**= I don't think I have anything in this catorgory.

I think that overall on this unit, I did well. I thought that the matching words to information, true of false questions, and short essay questions were easy. I had a little trouble on the facts about emperors though. =**Notes** I think this was a fun unit in social studies. I think that I learned a lot

=Archeology=

The first unit we learned about in Social Studies was Archeology. I think that I understand the definitions well and I could recite them in my own words and I know them well enough to be able to answer questions about them. I know why it's important to find an object in context and what makes an object valuable to Archeologists. I can explain what an artifact is too. I have learned things from the dig that would help me become an Archeologist. I also have the ability to make inferences and observations. I understand why a surplus is important, as well as what starts a civlilization. I am also able to get information from a paper that I've read. I feel good about my scores on my test as well. I do not have trouble with anything on Archeology, but I still hope to improve.
