Egypt – The Gift of the Nile
14 Jan
We began our new unit on ancient Egypt on Monday. This is an excellent unit which we are sure you will enjoy. Over the next few weeks, we will learn about the geography, life in ancient Egypt, the pyramids, the different kingdoms, the legacy of ancient Egypt and much, much more. The first video is a travel advertisement which is short, but nice. It gives you a glimpse of what it looks like today. The second video gives you some information about ancient Egypt. Both videos are a nice introduction to our unit.
