The research was not very hard and was fun learning about what happened back in ancient china. It should be taught to other coming 7 graders and the fact that you make it a video game is really cool thank for all your work

I learned alot about the GRE project. Over all it was pretty hard but I think it was great experience. I also think the works cited, webliography, and video game cover all will help us later on in life in high school and collage. But overall I really enjoyedd the project.

I think the GRE was a good experience for me. I think the most interesting thing i learned about was the siesmometer. The siesmometer is a device that can detect earthquakes before they come. This is an important device for china because they had a lot of earthquakes.Im glad I got to learn about these achievements.

I think that doing the GRE project was a great experience for me! I was allowed to be creative in finding pictures and creating the cover page. I was taught a lot of different research technique as well like, how to avoid plagiarism and how to site your sources properly. I really learned a ton about ancient China. Like how the Great Wall Of China took many years to finish and how the people who were making the wall were treated very badly. I think that the GRE project was overall a fantastic experience for me.

My experience with the GRE project was overall interesting. I thought the project was a bit fast paced and challenging to incorporate the twist of the video game. However I had also learned new information and skills from doing this project. Such as some of China’s greatest achievements but also organization skills like how to break down a big project step by step so it is easier. Which I believe is a skill we can add to all the big projects we will face in life. Yes, I do admit that I did fall a little behind but ou can always learn from our mistakes … or at least realize what you did wrong and what you can do better next time. Reflecting back what I realized it that the dept of the purpose of this experience was deeper than thought. Not only did this project teach us how to research information and use it without Plagirism but also how important it is to stay on top of our work because later it will become harder to catch up. In conclusion even if I found the project difficult you can always learn from all your experiences.

I liked this research project a lot! It taught me man y things, like how to research properly and not plagiarize. This was a really fun project, I wish I could do this every day! I loved learning about china. Ancient china is a very interesting topic to study! All, I would recommend this project to many others even though they will have to do it anyway.

I really enjoyed doing the GRE social studies project. I have learned a lot more about Ancient China. I’ve have learned about moxibustion and herbs that Chinese use. The thing that made it a lot of fun was that it was a video game. It made me use my imagination instead of just writing about just facts. The video game part was what made this project fun. With all these new facts I don’t know what I am going to do! I was happy with the schedule it helped me stay on track. Now that the project is over I’m going to see if I could make the essay better.

I think this research project was a lot of fun and really creative. I got to learn a lot of interesting facts about ancient China For example I had no idea how silk was made but when we started this projects I learned how it was made, where it comes from, and the silk worm isn’t just a worm turns into the silk moth. I would’ve never known that if we didn’t do this project. Plus I learn ton of other things too! if I were to change the project in any way ill make it shorter I was hard to stay in the library for 2 weeks. Other than that it was a fun project and I got to show my creative side.

I learned about many things in this GRE. I discorverd many other architectual feats other than The Great Wall such as The Temple of Heaven and the Forbidden city. I was amazed that the Chinese were carving jade and making porcelain centurys ago. I also learn of chiese philosophy such as Buddhism.
The research process also provided an opertunity to learn. Fake websites will try to trip me in the future but now I know to check the authors, references, and links. I learned not to copy the source’s exact words too.
I learned so much and I can’t wait to do another project next year!
