History Apprentice: Month Two, Ancient Egypt

Study/Learn

 - Print the note cards and study month 2. You can find them here. 

-Read Chapters  2, 4, 12 and 13 of Story of the World. As you finish each chapter make a blurb, doodle some notes or write up some bullet points -- any creative way you want to keep the highlights from the chapter in your commonplace book. 

-Put the following dates/people and events on your timeline: 

***Coming Soon!***

Know/Understand

Choose ONE of the following and be prepared to present for 3-5 minutes about it:

Mummify an apple (instructions found here) and be prepared to share with us something that stood out to you/was interesting about mummification. (this wont work if you don't start it on Friday :D) 

Create a Canopic Jar -- be able to tell us what god is on the jar, add some writing and tell us about what is stored in that jar and why that jar would have held those organs. (there are plenty of ideas online, be creative and give it your best effort).

Create a piece of art that sums up something you learned about Egypt. Be prepared to share the art and an explanation of why your art is significant/how it represents what you learned.

Do a creative report on one of the pharoahs NOT talked about in our reading. Sign up here (no, I'm not giving suggestions, once you've found someone write their name on the paper to dib it :) 

Do a creative report on one of the pyramids not listed in the book (do not choose the Great Pyramid). Sign up here. 

Make a shaduf that works and teach us about it.

Give a creative report on Nubia/Kush. Their culture became a part of Egyptian culture, what came from Nubia? (only one person can choose this option, sign up here)

Give a creative report on the Hyksos. Learn more about their culture and share it with the class. (only one person can choose this option, sign up here)

Become/Serve

We are continuing to work on our person in the ancient scriptures project. Review your studies/notes about your person from last month to prepare for your assignment.

-As you watch General Conference this weekend listen for any reference direct or indirect that relates to your person. Some of you might have your person mentioned specifically and their story shared and others of you will hear a talk that makes you think of your person and their experiences. Come prepared to share what you learned or what insights you gained about your person and their experiences by listening to general conference. 

-Remember the 3 questions you wrote down last month? I would like you to find the answers. If you can't find that assignment then come up with three things you would like to know more about your person. The answers can be found by reading more about their story at LDS.org or by using resources like the Bible Dictionary and footnotes or even asking a parent for their insight! 

*Remember, we are working towards a final project and presentation about these people so the more you put into the project the more you will get out of it and the more rewarding the final presentations will be for all of us.
