Today  in Social Studies, we watched a video about The Great Wall of China. Here are 10 things that I learned from that video:

1. The Chinese emperor Ying Chang was 13 when he became emperor.

2. His mom wanted to kill him so her stepson could take the throne. (When Ying Chang found out, he banished his mother and killed his stepbrothers. )

3. When Ying Chang was older, he changed his name to Shi Huandi.

4. Shi Huandi ordered construction on the Great Wall to keep out invaders.

5. Over 1 million people worked on the Great Wall and 25% of them died. (After they died, they were put into the morter and buried in the wall.One of the Great Wall’s nicknames is the long graveyard.)

6. The Great Wall of China was 3,000 miles long.

7. Shi Huandi started building a tomb that he designed when he was 13.

8. To guard his tomb, he had thousands of terra-cotta warriors in ditches by his tomb.

9. After Shi Huandi’s tomb was built, he had a mountain put on top of it. (They say when the mountian was finished it was as tall as the pyramids of Giza.)

10. The tomb is said to hold rivers of mercury. (They won’t open it up until they have the technology.)

Those are 10 things that I learned from watching that video. Did you learn anything from this?

If you could pick any flavor of icecream that best describes you, what would it be? Are you plain, like vanilla? Or are you someone healthy, like strawberry frozen yogurt? Pretty much everyone has a different personality that matches a flavor of icecream. So what flavor are you? I dont know what kind of flavor im like. Im kind of plain, like vanilla. But I like being different. Its what gives you character.

I could be cookie dough. It has vanilla, to show that its a little plain. But it also has cookie dough chunks in it, showing its individuality. And i like cookies.  So i think that cookie dough best fits my personality. Its sweet but plain. And  it has a touch of individuality. What flavor are you?
