Oct. 17

Take a magazine from the front of the room and turn to the first page, called "The Gift of the Nile."  Read that section and write down 5 things that you learned, using complete sentences, in your TAJ.  When you're done, feel free to browse the rest of the pages and read about the topics you are interested in!

Oct. 14

Take a blue "Help Wanted" sheet from the front of the room and study it for a minute.  Which job would suit you the best?  Maybe none of those four listed would be a good fit.  Maybe you'd rather be the Queen's makeup artist, or a palace musician, or a tomb painter.  Maybe you'd want to entertain crowds by playing sports, or work along the Nile, or be a professional fisherman. 

Write a response about your dream Egyptian job on the BACK OF THE BLUE SHEET.  Title it "My Dream Egyptian Job".

Write your presentation date in your planner so you're ready, when the time comes, to wow us all with your brilliance!!

Hieroglyph Alphabet

Short story people:

Your story must be 2-3 pages, typed, double-spaced.  It must include all of the vocabulary words we learn this month.  It must be set in Ancient Egypt, and have a full and complete plot map showing what the climax, falling action, and resolution of the story will be ( this thing: _/\__ ).  You will be graded for creativity, realistic setting and character details, and proper grammar/spelling.  Good luck!

Project people:

Let your parents know when you're presenting so that they can come in and watch!  We will get started right away with presentations, so be ready.

Ready for Egypt?? :) In your notebook, write down 5 things you are most interested in learning about.


If you have a current event to share, make sure it's all written up and ready to hand in!
