Prompt: What is the most entertaining class on team Columbia?
Ancient Civilizations is the most entertaining class on team Columbia. The
fun Columbia students have in Ancient Civ was evident last week. After examining
random artifacts such as umbrellas and toothpicks, students presented their
shoebox archaeology project. Unlike other classes, students got to implement the
knowledge they learned in Ancient Civ in a practical way. In addition, students
participated in an interactive review game with buzzers and a basketball hoop.
Finally, in Ancient Civ, student’s watch interesting movies about unfamiliar and
interesting topics. As the engaging and practical lessons demonstrate, Ancient Civ
is the most entertaining class on team Columbia. In Ancient Civ, unlike their other
on team classes, students get to learn about problems from the ancient world and
how those problems relate to the world today. Without question, the engaging
lessons and competitive review games make Ancient Civ the most entertaining class
on team Columbia.
