Here we are at week four, this week I will be researching the spread of the
original alphabet and its adaptation by various peoples around the
world'. I will also be using a different search method called a search directory and the directory I will be using is called About.com. This directory is found online and you can easily access it by typing
www.about.com into your browsers search bar or you can simply search for it on
Google.com.
First of all I tried searching for the entire
title of the subject as I thought I would try and see if there was anything
directly related or on the off chance of having the same title; but it was to
no prevail.
So I thought that I would dumb it down a little and try using
some key words. I tried searching for 'the spread of the original alphabet',
but again not the best results. I then just searched for the key words 'the
original alphabet spread'; this returned a better outcome and I found the page I
thought was most appropriate. The page I have chosen is really just some basic information about the first alphabet. I thought this would be a good choice to start off with as people may not know much about the alphabet and it origins to begin with including myself. The directory offers quite a few links to further information about the history and other alphabets for those who wish to satisfy their curiosity.
I also found a YouTube video of how to pronounce the Hebrew alphabet, I thought this is a great video for people like myself who don't exactly know how these letters are pronounced. I firstly went to the YouTube website and typed in the search bar 'the original alphabet'. I found this video a few spaces down and thought it was the perfect selection.
On to the difficulties this week, I would say searching in a subject directory for a relevant page was the biggest issue. I was forced to try a number of key words to find a good result, in the end I did find the right page. The search took a little longer than the previous topics as I had to take more time to search but nothing major.
In conclusion I feel that I have chosen the right page and video. A basic history of the first alphabet is a great addition to the ancient world of libraries. The video is great as it provides the correct pronunciation of the original letters.
- Week 2 was the website for clay tablets and a YouTube video regarding Gilgamesh tablets.
- Week 3 was the book about The Dead Sea scrolls and a short YouTube video about them.
- Week 4 we have a subject directory page about the spread of the original alphabet and its adaptation by various peoples around the world.
