I start my blog today.
It's ironic that I am starting it today.
Today, I observed one of my History teachers deliver a lesson. Her lesson was one in a sequence that covered the use of historical artefacts to ascertain how people used to live. It was interesting. She was basically telling the kids that although there are some artefacts that tell us a lot about past societies/civilisations - the structure, belief systems etc - the more basic discoveries tell us about how the oridnary person used to live.
The example she used was: the pyramids tell us a lot about the belief systems of the Ancient Egyptians, their government structure, hierarchies in their society etc; however, the discovery of simple things near the great pyramids like cooking utensils, agricultural tools, children's toys etc tell us a lot about how the ordinary person lived.
Why is this ironic? Well...I am starting my blog today...and I am of the opinion that blogs will be looked at by future generations to discover how we lived. It will reveal what was important to the ordinary person.
So anyway. Other than that lesson I observed...the rest of my day was pretty boring! BUT it IS Friday!!!
