Gift of the
Nile Internet Tour - You will be drawing a picture based on one or
more of the sites that you see on the Internet. This drawing will be on
the unlined part of an index card, and you will write to a friend
telling what you saw, what you thought about it, and what you might have
done there. As you visit the Internet sites, record what you see and
read about by taking notes and sketching what you see on notebook paper.
Create the postcard when you are off line.

Your Plea to
the Gods - Egyptians also believed they would be judged before they
would go to the next world. You will read prayers, or pleas, written to
help the dead be accepted into the next world. These prayers assured the
dead would be preserved and presented to the gods in good shape. Then
write your own plea.
