Social Studies:
We will finish up our analysis of Ancient Egyptian documents, create a strong thesis statement, and choose the best evidence to support our position. Students will create a note card for each of their body paragraphs. I will take the completed paragraph cards to Mrs. Smith’s class for the students to use as she teaches them to write their paper. Once we accomplish this amazing feat, we’ll learn about some Ancient Egyptian pharaohs during the Middle and New Kingdoms.
Homeroom: Interim-Progress Reports are due back Tuesday, November 19th.
What Is Happening:
Monday:
- Students worked together to write a great thesis statement for their paper. The Nile River shaped ancient Egypt by providing a stable food supply, a strong economy, and as an important part of its religion.
- Students created a team poster to practice identifying facts from the documents that will be helpful when they need to support their arguments for each analytical category.
- DBQ Packets were submitted.
Tuesday: Students completed and discussed our Team Posters and began our DBQ Note Card for the Stable Food Supply category. Students will create a note card for area of Egypt the Nile helped to shape. All materials must be kept here at school and completed in class. Note Cards will be due by the end-of-class on Thursday; most students will finish tomorrow. :)
Wednesday: Students worked on their DBQ Note Cards for the three areas of ancient Egyptian life effected by the Nile River.
Thinking Thursday: Most students completed DBQ Note Cards for all three categories. If they finished they could choose to work on missing or incomplete work in their Social Studies Notebook, read from a selection of non-fiction books on Ancient Egypt, read their own book, or work on homework from another class.
