This week Mr. Medica's class began studying the ancient civilization of Egypt! The students dove right in and began learning about Egypt's geography. To demonstrate what they've learned, they created maps of ancient Egypt including important physical and political features like the Eastern and Western Deserts, the Nile River, the Red Sea, and the Nile River Delta. In addition, they included political features like Upper and Lower Egypt and the southern civilization of Kush. The students will now learn more about the civilization of ancient Egypt including things like the pyramids, famous pharaohs, and mummies!
