Ancient History (Egypt Research Assignment)
Below are links to a concluding research assignment for the study of Ancient Egypt in History 10.
NOTE: At the beginning of the study, students discussed and brainstormed what they knew and what they wanted to know about Ancient Egypt, so at the end of the study they could revisit that class discussion and consider topics we did not explore or topics they want to explore further.
