DIARY OF A SLAVE: MIDDLE PASSAGE CAPTURE AND SAILING __**

History – Grade 7 CAL 2 Assessment task The assessment = 20% of CAL 2 for History. The deadline is the lesson: 8TH February (7a and b) and 11th of February (7c).

Or you can stick to the fact that slavery stopped in 1865 and you are on the plantation. (**Remember there are 425 years in between this dates**) You should structure your ideas first in order to optimize your time during the lesson to fulfill the task. Good luck!

Above you can see a Bedouin and it's clothes and heir formations to travel in the desert. As well as Bedouin and his camel.

In the Arabian deserts live some nomads called Bedouins. The Bedouins live in tents which they carry from one place to another. The Bedouins are Muslims and are part of the Islamic civilization. They migrate to different places depending in the climate conditions, and how there situation is for example: Winter, when there is some rain or precipitation, they migrate deeper into the desert, while they look for shelter around safe water sources in the hot and dry summer time. The Bedouins travel mainly in camels and sometimes walking. They travel in a certain position which is the eldest at the front and the youngest at the back.They are mainly there because of oppression. The Bedouins sometimes go to the trading cities to trade animals, camels, etc. But sometimes they go because the climate conditions are terrible and they think they can't survive. Their clothes include a type of handkerchief at their forehead which neutralize a bit the intensive rays of the sun and make them see a bit better. If they wouldn't have this the intensive rays of the sun would burn their eye pupils making them blind. They often carry wool long sleves shirts and trousers to prevent sunburns in their skin.

I found that you can survive in Arabian desert by the cloths you wear, the animal you use to transport and the materials you have in your backpack.

how do islams survibe in arabia?? they survive because sometiemes the ones that live in th dessert are hot in the day but refresh their self in the night were the climate is extremly cold! or many of them live far from the dessert or are just their preparing for a fight

the desserts of arabia are really hot so islam people put fresh clothes and they put cloths in their heads to protect themselves from the sun it is really hard for the because they have really little water and they need need to give also water to their animals like camels.f.karina

i fond out that you can survive Arabia desesert concentrating and beeng very carefull in where you step. F. joselyn

the islam survived in arabia by using cloths that would protect them from the hot weather and also the islams exchanged things in arabia to survie for example they exchanged animals, camels for food. they exchanged useful things that they will need. Hye Ju Kim

islams survive in arabia exchanging things with other, things they didnt use they change them for things they could use, but it was a really good thing to change with friends or others. there religion was a complicated thing because they had many special rules that know they could still use. Steven Kawas

How do people survive in the desert? The desert is home to several people but it is sometimes very dificult to live in because of the climate change. In the day it is very, very hot but in the night it is very cold!. So it is very hard for people to live but they sometimes get used. Camila Chorro

What did you search and learn on Arabia and the Deserts?

It is very easy to survive in a desert because i did not fall into to many hazards and I end up like with 190 stock and just -10 camels
