So for the past while, maybe two weeks, we have been working on an Egypt project in Social Studies on a topic of our choice. First we had to do a one-page essay about our topic, then we had to do a big project also about our topic.

Some of the projects were really cool. There were board games, paper machae models, and some people even brought in Egyptian food that they made. There were many more cool projects brought in. Someone even made their own paper!

The project that I brought in was about education. I drew hieroglyphics on a piece of paper that I made look old my rubbing my pencil to make it look smudged,  and I burnt the edges. Before I drew on it, I dipped the paper in green tea ad let it dry overnight. I thought it looked pretty good, but I didn’t get a very good mark. Oh well. Everyone else did pretty good.

I liked this project because it was fun to do. I hope we do things like this more often because its a little bit of work with the essay, but its fun with the project.
