  1. Ancient Egypt Text Review • Name the two regions into which ancient Egypt was divided. • Locate the Nile Delta and identify two cities near it. • Name the three deserts and two large bodies of water that surround Egypt. • Why do you think the Greek historian Herodotus call Egypt “the gift of the Nile”?

  2. Make Your Own Pyramid • Fold a sheet of paper into a taco. Cut off the excess rectangular tab formed by the fold. • Open the folded taco and refold it like a taco the opposite way to create an X-fold pattern. • Cut one of the folds to the center of the X, or midpoint and stop. This forms two triangular-shaped flaps. 4) Take notes on the underneath side and draw pictures representing Early Egyptian Life, the Dynasties, and the Kingdoms on the outside. * DO NOT GLUE IT YET!

  9. Complete Your Pyramid • Now glue one of the flaps under the other, forming the pyramid. • Make sure not to glue over your notes that you took! • Poke a hole in the top of the pyramid so we will be able to hang it up!
