Do Now: Part I

Make 2 observations and 2 inferences.

Good example: I see the sun, so I think that day must be warm.

Bad example: I see Egypt.

You don't actually see Egypt. You see the pyramids, so you think it is Egypt.

If you have time...

Group 2: Hieroglyphic Practice


In preparation for the creation of your burial chamber, Practice your hieroglyphic writing on the cartouche.

Afterward study the picture and translate the hieroglyphics on the wall as best you can. It will not be a direct translation but try to use your imagination.




Homework:

The embalmer's followed serious steps in the mummification process. Tomorrow, you will create your own mummification directions, but tonight practice following steps by using a recipe.

Homework: Make some type of food (cookies, brownies, eggs, etc.) using a recipe and bring it to school tomorrow.


Write a step by step recipe showing how you created this.
Include: the ingredients, the time, how you mixed it, everything!!!

The more detailed it is, the better it will be.

We will taste each others, of course, ONLY if you bring something in.

Bring SHOEBOXES!!!!!!!!!
