The Task
You will be conducting research on one of the Ancient Egyptian topics we have covered in class throughout the past few weeks. Once you have completed your research, you will write a research paper and create a model that represents your knowledge of Ancient Egypt.

May 6.
 Pyramids and Temples

 Mummification
 Pharaohs and Queens
 Hieroglyphics
 Afterlife and the Underworld
2. Follow the attached syllabus to make sure you stay on track with your project’s due dates.
3. Look over the research rubrics to make sure you understand what I expect to see for each piece of your project.
4. See me with questions ASAP. Do not wait until the last minute to clarify directions.
Good luck!
