Today in class, we did an activity where Mr.McQueen gave us a piece of paper that had three columns, based on the movie 'Guns, Germs, and Steel.
The first column was about making connections with what we saw in the movie, and what we already knew about the world. For my answer, I basically wrote things similar to the post below. My connections were that, since places like Europe had better crops, they were more advanced than places like Papa New Guinea (Papa New Guinea's crops were not as nutritious). My other connection was that the America's have good livestock and crops, because it was shipped over from Europe. The only live stock that Papa New Guinea really had were pigs.
The second section was about what made us expand our thinking. I wrote that since Papa New Guinea did not have very nutritious crops, they would not be able to take care of their people very well. If the people weren't able to be healthy, they would not be able to be as productive as different places around the world.
The last section was about what questions we still had. The movie was very informative, so I only had one main question. I asked about how technology transformed and evolved from 10,000 years ago, where the most sophisticated technology was a plow, to today, where we have sooooooo much technology everywhere.

wow you wrote a lot. I dont know how you write so much. You had so much detail it was unbeliveable.
Great question, Anissa. Why do you think? Perhaps for your next blog post, you could try to answer this.
Another follow up question would be, does this or do these technological advances have any negative consequences or are they all positive?
Please explore these questions
Nice work. You really showed clearly about what you wrote and put some little details in. Good job! Blogging is like your talent!
