The last 3 weeks the sixth grade was assigned to work in groups and work on a Egypt project. The first 2 weeks we watched movies had people who experienced Egypt talk to us and read a book. That helped us as a sixth grade team to get our minds explore the culture of Egypt. We focused on STRAWGS which stands for Stable Food Supply,Technology,Religion,Arts,Writing,Government, and Social Structure. We all got put into groups with 4 or 5. Each group had to collaborate together and then agree on two of the 7 Egyptian civilizations. My group decided to focus on Arts and Stable Food Supply. The members in my group are… Kayllie Brus, Nicole Rees, Josie VanDam, and me, Kennedy Heyboer. Our exhibit went well.

While doing the Egypt project as a group and some with the grade there were some thing thats I learned over time. A lot of it came off of STRAWGS. One certain thing is based on Stable food supply. In Egypt there stable food supply was very important for them. There was the upper and lower class. They would fight over the the food. Only one of them would win. In ancient Egypt they all would want to live by the nile because that way they could get clean water and it was the only dry place that they had. Arts they would put their feelings and emotions on paintings no matter if it would be on the side of highways or in museums.

In the beginning of this whole Egypt project I thought to my self we never are going to use this is in life. Why are we even doing this we never will use any of this later in life. But then getting to the end of this whole entire Egypt project if someone would come up to me and say now since you are done with the Egypt project do you think it is useful or will you use it later in life and I would say “yes I think it is useful later in life.” I think it would be useful because if I would ever want to go travel to Egypt. I think it helped me because then I get the feel of really being with different friends so 4 reasons are Friendship, Collaborative, and Leadership and Learning.
