Ancient Egypt Project Sheet

Ancient Egypt Project:

Since we don't have a lot of time to fully study all there is to know about Ancient Egypt, I am giving you the opportunity to choose one small area of this period in history and do a small project on it.

From the stack of books I have, the internet or Chapter 3 in your History of the World textbook, find something you are interested in doing a bit of research on such as; pyramids, mummification, Ancient Egyptian fashion, cooking, sports or mythology or research a particular Pharaoh or a particular area such as the Nile.

Once you have approximately 3 bits of important and interesting information, decide how you are going to present this information.  Here are some suggestions:

a) 5 - 8 slide power-point
b) poster board display
c) Plasticine model
d) diarama
e) lapbook

Here is a good place to go on the internet to get some ideas: Ancient Egypt for Kids

This is due on Friday, November 23^rd


Here is how it will be evaluated:
You do not need to present your project to the whole class - just me, but I may choose some of the best to show the class. J
