Egypt Museum & Google Sites

This project represents the culmination of the fifth grade studies on ancient Egypt.  Students learned about geography of the area and how the Nile River allowed a civilization to be born.  Students learned about the Old Kingdom (2500-2100 B.C.E.), which was a time when the ancient Egyptians built many of their tombs and pyramids.  Students learned about the Middle Kingdom (2000-1650 B.C.E), which was a time when writing was important and Egypt produced art and literature.  They also learned about the New Kingdom (1550-1100 B.C.E.), which was a time when Hatshepsut, a woman, ruled the land.

Students chose topics that interested them about Egypt and researched questions using books and Internet resources.  They learned how to find sources, take notes, and then wrote a multi-paragraphed essay that ultimately answered their question.  Students used Google Sites to design a website form the text and completed a project at home.

Parents were invited into school to see student projects and to view their websites which were displayed on their iPads.
