Another Great Resource!

The History Channel's website has a lot of great information that might be useful for you in your research.

History.com

The website has some really interesting facts and articles (especially if you're interested in Cleopatra!) and also has a few short videos photo galleries for those of you who like to see pictures of what you're learning about.

Here is one of the videos that I enjoyed:

Ancient Egypt

This week we will begin studying the ancient Egyptian civilization. We'll be spending time in class working on a research project that will be due at the end of the unit (I will pass out a rubric in class). Keep an eye out on this blog for links to resources that can help you!

If you find a great resource that you think your classmates might like, email me the link and I will post it here for everyone to see and use.
