MONDAY, 12/19/16

Today, we began writing a poem about Egypt in groups of 4.  Students will write 10 to 12 lines about EACH LESSON.  There are 4 lessons so a total 40-48 lines for each group.

Then, we'll turn that poem into an Egypt Rap and record them on Wednesday in class.  Who knows, maybe some groups can do a green screen video!  Who's game????

​Let's get CREATIVE!!!!!

We continued work on the Egypt Rap.  Really successful groups are writing them on a Google Doc so that everyone in the group can access the rap at home also :)

Check out past Egypt Raps on my Cool Projects page!

Remember:  I handed out a study guide today that will help you with your rap but also get you ready for our TEST on THURSDAY!!!!!!

Wednesday, 12/21/16

Let's record our Egypt Raps today when you're finished with writing them.

Thursday/Friday 12/15 and 12/16

We watched the video Building the Great Pyramid by the BBC.  It's a fantastic look at how the Great Pyramid may have been built.  Excellent watch, if you missed this, I'm sure you can find it somewhere on Youtube :)
