In the making of this project, I learned many things about the changes that occurred in people’s lives after the Neolithic revolution took place. I got to list out everything that changed during the revolution and try to adapt that for a song rewrite. I decided to pick Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Ashley because it is very catchy. A problem that I faced was trying to make the lyrics smooth to keep the original song’s catchiness. I made many attempts to replace bits and pieces but I was going nowhere and the song kept getting worse with the tune ruined. I overcame this when I realized that the song was catchy because of its tone, so I replaced it with words that had the same tone as the original lyric. In doing so, it becomes smooth and catchy. What’s particularly interesting is the changes after singing the song a few times, it lists out everything that changed from the neolithic evolution.
Innovative Thinkers: I explored the changes brought about by the Neolithic Revolution and creatively adapted them into a song rewrite, choosing "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley for its catchy tune and popularity.
Articulate Communicators: I faced a challenge in maintaining the smoothness and catchiness of the original song while incorporating historical content. I overcame this by realizing the importance of tone, ensuring that my rewritten lyrics retained the original song's catchiness.
This project helps me learn about Ancient Egypt. It got me to research the culture back. Not only that but I also found many interesting things such as their super advanced technologies back then. I was tasked to build and model a pyramid. I did some research to find out what the pyramids are like. The challenge that I face is trying to pinpoint the pyramid. It is difficult to model the pyramid too, as every pyramid is unique and not the same. I overcame this by doing more research and finding more references to go off of. I found so many interesting things. I found out why the pyramids were built helping me understand more about their religion. I also learned more about their geography of where they got the materials from.
Strategic Leaners: I recognized the importance of understanding Ancient Egypt's culture, and in researching for the project, I strategically focused on exploring aspects such as advanced technologies, pyramid construction, and the geographical origins of materials.
Innovative Thinkers: I applied my knowledge creatively by tackling the challenge of modeling a unique pyramid. Despite the difficulty, I overcame it through innovative thinking, conducting additional research, and finding various references to create an accurate representation.
