  • Share refined research project ideas

​HOMEWORK:
  • Read Chapter 3 - Ancient Egypt 
  • DUE FRIDAY - TWO REFINED research project ideas as per the posted Semester 1 Project parameters.  Your typed proposal should clarify the specific question and/or thesis statement that your research seeks to address. Included also must be the required visuals (one from the text book AND one from a museum or actual site that you can visit) and credit lines (captions for images/works of art).  Images do not need to be in color. 
  • DUE OCT. 27 - Your choice of ONE "Think About It" question from Chapter 3

Tagging will start on Oct. 13th.
