Ancient Egypt


The students are taking over!  Teachers beware!

Eighth Grade Ancient History Scholars are entering the mysterious and complex world of ancient Egypt.  They will hone their research skills as they explore individual topics.


Their skills focus for this project will include practicing taking notes in one's own words, citing sources with superscript numbers and correct end note information, and properly documenting sources on their endnote and bibliography pages.  They will also practice using google power search and using specific criteria for evaluating web sources.  



The eighth grade scholars will each create a power point on their research topic which they will use to teach their classmates. NO TEACHERS NEEDED!  OH MY!
