Homework for February Break

Over break you will read about the Ancient Egyptian religion and the stories of their gods and goddesses. This will be imperative to your final project on Ancient Egyptian Afterlife! Take careful notes. First you need the following items:

• a pen
• paper or your Humanities notebook
• your brain

THREE ASSIGNMENTS
1. Visit The British Museum's webiste devoted to Egyptian gods and goddesses. Click on the story and read it. http://www.ancientegypt.co.uk/gods/home.html


2. On The British Museum's Egypt gods & goddesses website, click on "Explore" on the left menu. Choose three gods or goddesses that interest you. Write a small paragraph bio of your three dieties. That means you will have three paragraphs. REMEMBER: A paragraph includes the following:

• A topic sentence
• A description of the supporting evidence & details
• An explanation of how and why the evidence supports the topic sentence
• A concluding sentence

3. Finish writing your paragraph on Egyptian afterlife based on the movie. (See February 8.) If you did not see the movie, you may look for it in the library or Netflix. You may also check out the following internet resources:
