Summary’s on videos

John green video-

John greens video was a long informative video about all of Egyptian life. I found that everything I needed to know was In the john green video. He talked about Egypt from the beginning of Egyptian life to the end and didn’t leave out much. How ever im not a big fan of his and find him rather annoying

Mummy video-

This video was short and to the point. It was an informative vide about how mummys were made. If your just looking for a video on how mummys were made and nothing else than this is the best video out there for that.

Pyramid video-

This video was mostly about how pyramids were made, who made them, and what was inside. I found It useful and helpful and easy to understand. This video was very helpful to me. I found that the john green video covered all of this in one long video. That’s why I found his the most useful

today in class we played this sick "game" where we had to try to build a pyramid as the Egyptians would have.

today in class we took more notes on egypt and pharaohs and sphinxes and the nile river. we also reviewed our tests
