Reflection:

Cycle 1 reflection:
The students had enough time to play and figure out the ancient games, this was definitely enough time. I allowed them to research not just history for their chess piece portion of the project, but also fantasy/sci-fi as well. this was at the request of the students, and I felt that would be a good way for them to do this part as well.
