Today students presented their House Hunters Show on Mesopotamia and Egypt.
AIM: I will perform my presentation on Mesopotamia and Egypt with 100% accuracy by completing all steps on the guideline sheet.
Standard: Geography, adaptation and settlement patterns of Egypt and Mesopotamia.
Do Now:
1) Vocabulary word: Around the time
2) Vocabulary word: Easy to get
3) Vocabulary word: Movement of water in one direction
4) How many years ago was 1,435 BCE?
Lesson Steps:
Once we finished our Do Now students practiced their skits for 10 minutes before our final presentations. Students then performed some AMAZING skits that incorporated all the geographical aspects of Mesopotamia and Egypt that we have been studying. They acted like real estate agents and buyers in trying to determine the best place to live. They were great to see and some of them were filmed too!
Homework: Complete all missing work by tomorrow.
