Dear Humanities Kids,
I hope you enjoyed your Fall Break! If you missed class today, we completed the following:
1. Each student submitted and shared their cartouche with the "owner" of the "immortality." Well done, cute kids, I am so impressed with your work. This assignment gave a much deeper understanding of this art form.
2. We continued discussing the following architectural forms:
1. Funerary monument of Hatshepsut. Please obtain this information via the Internet or from a friend.
2. We also discussed Abu Simbel (Ramses II) and the significance of Obelisks.
HOMEWORK:
1. CER #1 is due on Thursday. Remember that you are discussing THREE of the FIVE Elements of Design for the body paragraphs. This will be a five paragraph response.
2. EXAM Covering Egypt will take place on THURSDAY. Make sure you review your graphic organizer. Place close attention to the following points, cute kids. If you respond to the questions, please DO NOT USE your graphic organizer. Use this as a pre-test, so you know your areas of weakness.
