Sixth Grade:
Your students have received a study guide for a test on Ancient Egypt. This test will be held during our final exam period. The homework assigned for this week is to use the study guide to study for the test. Your students should make matching flashcards to test themselves for the terms and people. They should review the map of Egypt and identify the items that are on their study guide. In addition, the students should practice writing the short answer essays. They are welcome to show their practice essays to me in advance of the test and I can give them feedback.
In class this week, the students are working in groups to write a script for a interview skit they will perform on Friday and Monday. They are studying the daily life and culture of the Egyptian social classes.
