Last week, we continued to focus on the geography of Egypt. Students will begin to study other aspects of Egypt in class this week. Please refer to my previous post for my Egypt presentation.
General Classes: We will continue to move forward in an attempt to understand Egyptian religion this week. It is very different from the religions of which most of us are familiar. As we study the gods and goddesses, we will learn about their valuable role in the culture. See assignments below...
Honors Classes: Last week we reviewed geography and began to look at the written language of ancient Egypt. We read about the Mystery of the Hieroglyphs in our literature books and took Cornell Notes. I have reviewed the notes this weekend and I will return them to students tomorrow. See assignments below...
Assignments -
General Classes - I will collect students Egypt maps on Monday. All students should have identified all of the locations listed on the reverse of the paper. On Friday, students will be taking a quiz on the political geography of Northern Africa (period six will be taking it on Thursday due to the early dismissal on Friday).
Honors Classes - I will collect students Egypt maps on Monday. I will also be checking their political maps at that time (a classwork grade). On Friday, students in period two will be taking a quiz on the political geography of Northern Africa (while students in period eight will take it on Thursday due to the early dismissal on Friday). All honors students should also complete reading, "The Egyptian Cinderella," before class on Tuesday, January 21st (I will collect Cornell notes at the end of the class). That assignment can be found on page seventy-three of the literature book. We will also discuss the project we will begin this week.
Advice to all students: Study your maps! You should be studying your map each day for ten to twenty minutes leading up to the test. Use the resources on my teacher's page to quiz yourself. Do not wait to the last minute as you will be overwhelmed and your efforts futile.
