Egyptian Gods and Goddesses

To we talked about Egyptian gods and goddesses...

I expected students to take some notes which would help them to answer the essential question pertaining to this topic.

Students should know that the Egyptians were polytheistic and worshiped a variety of gods who were considered principal (gods that they all believed in) or regional. They worshiped them at temples which were built in their honor and gave them gifts such as food, material goods, and prayers. They believed that the gods controlled all of the 'workings of nature' and were basically responsible for everything that happened on Earth.

Feel free to post any questions regarding this topic or bring them up in class.

Remember, your opportunity to earn extra credit for the 2nd marking period will expire at the conclusion of this unit!
