I think the two most important Chinese achievements are the magnetic compass, and the abacus. The magnetic compass was important, because it helped people learn where each direction is. If a sailor had to sail north he wouldn't know which direction it is without the magnetic compass. The compass was very handy when it came to traveling. It was so useful that America started to use a compass. I think our compass was inspired by the  Chinese's magnetic compass.
     The abacus was also a good achievement. It was a good accomplishment, because it helped the Chinese do math. They could use the abacus to add, subtract, multiply, and divide. It was also a quicker and easier way to do math. I'm pretty sure our calculator was also inspired by the abacus.

    The griots were very important in Africa, here's why. The griots told people stories from the past, they didn't write it down. Griots talked about great things that happened earlier. They talked about great kings, and great people or warriors. They didn't always talk about great things in the empire, they also talked about tragic things. They told stories about brutal wars.Griots were the mains source of history back then.
     They palyed an important role, because no one would have known about Ghana, Mali, or Songhai if they didn't pass on those stories for generations. They kept the history going for a long time, so that we would know about these empires. They told us a lot about the west African empires. If griots had not done that then would wouldn't have any clue that those empires existed.

      Before the discovery of iron in Africa life was hard. Their tools for farming were made out of wood, but that was a problem because they would break easily. Their weapons were also made out of wood, but that was a problem becuase they couldn't take their weapons out of their enemies, and they couldn't kill their enimies easily.
     So when they discovered iron they used it to improve many things. They improved their weapons by making them out of iron. Since they did that it was much easier to fight. They also made their farming tools out of iron. By making their farming tools out of iron they  lasted longer, and didn't break easily. They also used iron for jewelery. Women would wear fine jewelery.

    There are many thing I like about fall, like the weather. I like the rain in fall, because it always leaves the air smelling fresh. I also like the different color leaves on the trees, that makes the trees look pretty. I also like how the leaves fall of, because when we rake them into a pile we jump into it. When it is cold outside we put a fire inside, or put on our favorite, warm jackets,those are another thing I lik,e about fall. I also like the holidays in fall. I like Halloween and Thanksgiving, and they are the holidays in fall. 
      Fall has a lot of great things to offer. It is a wonderful season, although it is not my favorite season I still like it. I talked to you about all the things I like, now what do you liek about fall? Do you even like fall? Just think about it. There is a lot of great things about fall, and I couldn't possibly just choose just one.
