My favorite part of the Egypt unit was learning about the mummification steps. If I was a pharaoh, I would not want them to do that to me when I died! I would not want to be an Egyptian back then because it would be hard to make a good living. To make a good living you had to be a scribe, but it takes a lot of determination to be a scribe. There are so many hieroglyphics to memorize and the teachers would be very strict. The Egypt unit was one of my favorites (even though there has only been about three)!

My favorite part of the Egyptian unit was learning about their beliefs and how they were put into action. Their way of thinking was much different than how we think today. So it was interesting to see how they thought. I think it would have been very fun to be an ancient Egyptian because of the way they applied Math and Language-Arts, it would have been nice to learn that way. You would be learning from the masters.

My favorite part of the Egyptian unit was when we studied the Nile. The other thing is I would definitely not want to be an Egyptian. I have a good reason why. If I ever was whipped by anyone, bad things would happen to them.

My favorite part about the Egypt was when I learned how they built the pyramids and I learned that the Egyptians built the first chariot. I would like to be the craftsmen because I like to work with my hands.

I LOVED the Egyptian times. Egypt is my favorite topic in Social Studies. I think it would have been awesome to live in Egypt. You get to learn Hieroglyphics, see the Pharaoh, and see how he lived. I would also learn the truth about all the legends from Egypt.

My favorite part was studying about the the mummification and the different kinds of symbols in their language, it just seems interesting to me.
I would have hated to be an Egyptian because I would have to either be a slave or a worker, or a pharaoh, which I am not going to have any chance of being. But this chapter was probably my favorite so far. I love studying about Egypt!

I liked the interview the most because I learned more about my grandpa. The most interesting thing I learned about my grandpa was the family memories.

I think making a heritage glog was fun because it was intersting how different people have different lives but they have something in common. They have a great family.

I think making a glog was fun because I go to learn more about my grandpa’s life. I also got to learn about other people’s grandparents or older relatives.
