Today in class we started going over the Ancient Egypt Prezi that we took notes on Tuesday for cyber day. I had already finished the prezi, so today's class was just clarifying the topics and noting what is important/what will be on the future test. But before we started doing that, the class had to finish reviewing the Guns, Germs, and Steel test that I haven't taken yet because I was absent last week. Therefore, I had to leave the classroom and roam the halls for ten minutes until they were done. But getting back to Ancient Egypt, Ancient Egypt is a very interesting topic to study, one of my favorites when I was in middle school. In seventh grade in my social studies class, that whole year was devoted to ancient civilizations, so I already have background knowledge on the topics we will be covering. Even though I enjoy Ancient Egypt, my overall favorite is Ancient Greece so I can't wait until we get to that unit. Tomorrow we will finish going over the prezi/taking notes in class tomorrow, I'm told it's something that you don't want to miss.
Here are extra notes that go along with my previous blog's notes:
-Nile flows south to north
-Cataract are the rough place in the river (consists of rocks-kind of like white water rafting)
-Nile is the worlds largest river, 4000 miles long
-Technological breakthroughs include irrigation, sailing, and baking bricks for building of pyramids.
