Welcome to Ancient Egypt!! Today you will embark on a journey to Ancient Egypt, this will be two weeks long, you will learn everything there is to know about ancient Egypt/Egyptians. This is going to be fun and very interative, I hope you're excited, lets get started!





Step 1 First, you are going to explore 2 very fun links you will start off learning about the mummifcation process using this link Mummification. Next, you will explore all there is to know about ancient Egypt with this link Ancient Egypt Web page. Once you have read through both of this information you are going to gather notes and interesting facts that you have come across and record them on your very own wiki page. You will find your wiki on the mummicication page, your names will appear on the left hand side of this page. When you open your wiki you may begin to record you notes that you have gathered from the both websites. The questions you are responsible for are in step 2, keep these in mind while you are visiting your websites.

Step 2 Now you will visit our class blog! On this [|Egypt Blog] you are going to answer the following ten questions: 1.) What did daily life revolve around for ancient Egyptians?  2.) What type of houses did ancient Egyptians build?  3.)What were the five different jobs that made up ancient Egypt's population?  4.)What does mummification mean?  5.)

<span style="color: #008080; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;"> What social class would you chose to be in if you lived in ancient Egypt and why? <span style="color: #008080; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;"> This should be at least one paragraph long, using information from the websites

<span style="color: #008080; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">*Your classmates will be able to see your answers, once you reply to my post then you are going to reply to someone else's post. * <span style="color: #008080; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">For example, if Johnny writes a whole paragrpah on why he would want to be a priest in ancient Egyptian times you would comment about his choice. You might agree or you might disagree, you will explain why. <span style="color: #008080; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">*Each student will reply to my questions with their answers and reply to ONE other persons response.

You may review your notes as well as visit the the two sites again, if needed. <span style="color: #008080; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Make sure your blog and wiki's are complete and done with your best effort!
