What does ancient Egypt teach us about their world and ours?
Description Egypt has been through many, many cycles of rising and falling. Their history is a microcosm of world civilizations. In this assignment we are going to explore those cycles and what we can learn from them. Objectives During this lesson students will evaluate one of the key elements of ancient Egypt. Essential questions What strengths and weaknesses did Egypt, as a culture and civilizations have? How can we learn from them? Special instructions For this assignment you, and one partner, if you choose, will create a simple, yet modestly thorough, paper about one of the following topics. Below each topic are the names of those who chose to write about it. You will be using the writing skills you have learned in your English classes. You may well move beyond the five paragraph essay format. I have no specific length requirement, but I can tell you that to cover a topic thoroughly most student seem to need at least 700 words. I've seen it done well with fewer and greater quantitities of words, but that seems to be about what it takes to describe the topic and how it affected Egypt's history. The rise and fall of the Middle Kingdom
