Ancient Egypt

EGYPT A to Z BOOK

In order to learn more about Ancient Egypt, you will be making an A to Z vocabulary book. For each letter of our English alphabet, you will need to find a word related to our study of Egypt. For example, for the letter "A" (the first letter and therefore the first page of your vocabulary book), one could use the word Ankh or Anubis.

Each page must contain the Egyptian vocabulary word, its definition, and a hand-drawn illustration. All written elements may be written in cursive or typed. The book must also include a front and back cover.

Your report will have two parts, each worth 50 points. Your drawing must be included as part of your presentation.
