Mapping Ancient Egypt Activity Today
you will demonstrate what you have learned about the land, important
places, and geographic features in and around Ancient Egypt, by labeling
a blank map of the region. In your Social Studies Google Classroom you can find
the assignment Map of Ancient Egypt. Directions for how to complete the activity are included with the map.
You
may utilize various resources to help you complete the activity. The
map below, featured in our Social Studies textbooks, I find particularly
helpful. The British Museum's Egypt site also features various maps of
Egypt here. Also, some really nice maps of Ancient Egypt can be found here.
This
mapping activity builds upon things that we have studied in class and
serves as one way to demonstrate what you have learned about the
geography of Ancient Egypt. Therefore, it will count towards your Social
Studies assessment grade. In fact, it will be the first graded assessment of the upcoming 2nd quarter and is due on Friday, October 23.
CNN Student News and Current Event Mapping As we watch CNN Student News today, identify one or two news stories that you can pinpoint geographically and place on the Current Event layer of your Social Studies World Map via Google Maps.
Las Vegas, China, and Thailand were all featured in today's segment. After pinning at least one of these places on your map, consider the most important question: What happened here? You should include a title for the event, the date(s) the event took place, a brief summary of what happened, and include an appropriate photo or video.
