Egypt Project
For this assignment, you will be making a poster/Power Point, a song/poem, or a 3D model
about an Egyptian topic. This will be a two part project, and you will be graded on both your project
and your presentation. Below is a list of topic choices and project ideas. I encourage you to be creative,
and if you have an idea that is not on the list, please see me for approval before beginning the project.
We will be working in this in school, so be ready to work on your assignment. Since I am
giving you class time, you cannot choose to do the whole assignment at home. You can use school
time to research, sketch out rough drafts, or practice your presentation if you are building something at
home, but you MUST be working during each in- class work session. You will be graded on in – class
participation on this project.
