Ancient Egyptian Civilization

On Wednesday 2nd, Sept. we continued our exploration of ancient Egypt and recapped what we learned about the ancient Sumerians from last time. We also watched a video on the great discoveries of ancient Egypt; however, these discoveries are not the typical pyramids and mummies. From these discoveries we have learned quite a lot about the Egyptians. If you were absent, you will need to do the following to make up what you missed:

1) Watch the following video and prepare a 3/4 page summary about what you learned about ancient Egyptian culture. What did they do? How did they live? What did they believe? What do these two discoveries (i.e., the Khufu boat and the use of fire at the quarry) tell us about Egyptian life at that time?

You only need to watch the first 20 minutes!!!

2) Please finish the assignment we began last time on Egyptian civilization. You will need to use your online book to do so. Remember, it is found at www.glencoe.com/ose/ and then put the code I gave you into the student login. If you do not have the code, please email me ASAP at troy.ball@jordandistrict.org That assignment will be due next time.

Thanks.
