Class 2-18-11

Today we got in groups and went on a web site that let us build a pyramid.  It took my group a long time to complete the build because choosing the right thing was hard.  Than for homework we have to write a song on the things that we have learned about Egypt.

Homework: Song

Figure out who I am

Learn about history

Solve a mystery

Figure out who I am

By digging in the sand

Pyramids, statues, and drawings in stones

Take a look at my mummy and count my bones

Learn about history

Solve a mystery

Figure out who I am

Am I woman or man

1472 to 1457 BC

I ruled Egypt and Made History

The first female Pharaoh in the 18^th Dynasty

Learn about history

Solve a mystery

Figure out who I am

My stepson had a plan

Not sure how I died

My husband’s son by another mother lied

Tried to erase every trace of my face

Put my body in a different place

Learn about history

Solve a mystery

Figure out who I am

I lost a tooth in the sand

When my mummy was found

No statues or pictures were around

My found tooth held the key

That and DNA solved my mystery

Learn about history

Solve a mystery

Figure out who I am

My stepson had a clever plan

But he couldn’t change history

Because it was my destiny

To be the first woman to rule as a man

I have the largest obelisk in all the land

Learn about history

Solve a mystery

Figure out who I am

Bricks to hide me fell away

And showed a clue to the root

Of who I was, Queen Hatshepsut.
