Egypt Test Help/Hints
The Egypt Test is tomorrow! As part of the test, you'll have to answer the following:
Use as many of your vocabulary words as you can and explain what the ancient Egyptians contributed to the world.
Think about their government, economy, religion, inventions, art, culture, architecture, and other achievements.
You'll need to write a minimum of 2-3 paragraphs using as many of your vocabulary words as possible and appropriate. Knowing the vocabulary words will be essential. Think about and organize your thoughts prior to coming to class. Details/examples in your paragraphs will help you earn points. Do not just write a series of vocabulary words in a sentence. Using a few appropriate vocabulary words with thoughtful sentences will make your response much better according to the 7 Writing Traits.
This part of the test is worth 20 points, which is about 1/2 of your grade for the test.
Good Luck!
