Egyptian Hieroglyphics

Ancient Egyptians developed a writing system called "hieroglyphics" which used pictures to represent letters. Below is a chart of hieroglyphs that would have been used by the Egyptians matched with the corresponding letter. Your assignment is to write a secret message (that is school appropriate!) in hieroglyphics to be turned in during class on Monday. Your message only needs to be a phrase or a sentence. Below your message, write a 3-5 sentences (in English) about how you think using hieroglyphics may have impacted the lives of the Egyptians. Also, feel free to add colors and designs to your page!
