Start a paper on Ancient Egypt. This paper should show your reader what you have learned about Egypt. You may write a “chapter book” with a page on each of the following topics: religion, government, agriculture, daily life, written language, architecture, art. You may prefer to specialize in any one of those topics, or you may want a paper that has several of the topics suggested, but not all. Any of those presentations would be fine; whichever you choose, however, your paper should be about 700 words (or more!).

* You have a week to write your paper. If you need an extension, let me know!

NOTE: Due to Easter break, we will have an extra week before our next class. Reference the class dates on your student page. Happy Easter!

Write your paper. Plan it out with your parent! Your paper is due a week after you start it.

Begin Hittite Warrior by Joanne Williamson

Read the book "Esther" from the Bible, and/or watch the movie "One Night with the King" (do both if you can, but if you can only do one, the book is better). We will be discussing this in our next class!

As I mentioned, you can approach your paper in several different ways. Here is an example outline for a paper giving a cultural overview.

Overview of Ancient Egyptian Culture

I. Introduction

A. Where?

B. When?

C. Set up the paper topics: e.g. Government, afterlife, architecture

II. Government

A. Pharaohs ruled the people of Egypt

B. Believed to be god-kings (very well respected)

C. What all did the pharaoh do?

D. Unity of government and religion in Egypt

III. Afterlife

A. Afterlife was believed to be eternal

B. Bodies were mummified

C. They were buried with material things from earthly life

IV. Architecture

A. Pyramids for pharaohs

1. Took decades, many men, and many resources to build - this shows their strong beliefs

B. Temples

C. Materials/tools used for building

V. Conclusion - briefly summarize main points to wrap up the paper

*When you write your paper, remember to use your own words. If you use an author's words, be sure to use quotation marks.

Continue to read Victory on the Walls and finish it before next class

Work on your map

Think about your upcoming paper (it will be assigned in two weeks) and what you might like to write about! :) Talk to your parents about it! Review the books you have read this year and/or any notes you may have taken on them to help you prepare! You can write your paper all about one topic (for example, Egyptian architecture, agriculture, religion, etc.) or give an overview of Egyptian culture, touching on several aspects of their culture (for example, you could talk about government, the afterlife, and architecture all in one paper).
