Reflection #1



Five hundred thousand years ago, fire was used for cooking food, protecting one another, and keeping warm. If I could go back in time back in time, I would bring them a stove top with an oven, air conditioner with a heater, some pens, pencils, markers, paint and paper, and a car. Our Ancestors did everything we did with nature. It is fascinating. Our Ancestors had human instincts. It amazes me they knew what they had to do, and figured out what they needed in order to do so.

We have so many tools, and inventions that have evolved. We can go to stores to purchase any kind of equipment we need. We have all kinds of writing utensils, and arts and crafts in order for us to write, or do arts and crafts. We have tire shops all over.

While I was reading the history of writing, first thing that caught my attention was a constanant alphabet. And I thought about my name it would be Smnth. The alphabet has evolved with vowels. I would love to hear how their language sounded.

The invention of the wheel was a way for humans to figure out how to move things around. Even with all the inventions we live with now, there are so many things we still discover, and figure out how to advance what we have as well. Without the wheel we wouldn’t have any kind of transportation such as planes, bicycles, cars etc. I am thankful for how transporation has evolved.

As a teacher intern reading this material, I felt we are developed and still developing. One generation leaves something for the next. So, what I’m wondering is what’s going to be next. Another thing we have to do is start being grateful for what we have. We have accomplished so much. We have advanced so much with integrating technology. I hope we don’t forget to teach with and without it. I don't want us to forget how much the world is transforming.
