SS- Egypt Name: ____________________
Your second quarter Egypt Project is worth 50 Points. How you get those 50 points is going to be up to you. Below you will find different tasks to complete. Each task is assigned a starting point value. If you do the task and do it well, you can earn those points. If you do the task, but do not put all your effort into it, you may not earn all of the points assigned to that task. The goal is to complete enough tasks to earn 50 points and an A+.
There are many topics that you can explore within Egypt. You may want to focus on a single topic and do several activities related to it. Alternatively, you may want to learn about different aspects of each civilization by picking different topics for each activity. It’s all up to you. If you have an idea for a project that I didn’t think of, come bounce it off me and I’m likely to ok it and assign it a point value. Please do not spend a lot of money on art supplies. Be creative with materials. Put your name and task on each project.
Do not plagiarize!
