Students....Your HW this week will include an investigation of the boy king, Tutankhamun...Dead for over 3,000 years, his tomb was discovered in 1922 in the Valley of the Kings and opinions as to how and why he died are as numerous as the grains of desert sand...Your mission this week is to visit the sites below (and any others you may find on your own), investigate the facts, myths, and opinions and then write a persuasive essay to convince me of your findings - was it murder or natural causes?...The essay should be a least five paragraphs in length and it can be as long as you wish - one of the sites I provide has a link to how to write and organize a persuasive essay if you need help... You will not have to turn in nightly HW this week to me, ( a reward for another Ravens victory) but the essay must be e-mailed to me by midnight Friday night...Finally, by next Monday, I would like you to have read the story of Joseph and Egypt in Genesis 37 to 50 - if you have already read it, please read it again to refresh your memory...We will discuss in class next week and aspects of the story will be on your next quiz in a couple of weeks...Have fun!!
HW 20 Mon - Fri -- study sites below and write an essay persuading me of your findings on whether King Tut was murdered - to me by midnight Friday Oct 19.
HW 21 - all week - read Genesis 37-50 and be prepared for discussion in class next week...
HW 22 - extra credit or no HW for a week (it depends on how good the performance is...lol) will be given to anyone who finds the lyrics for and comes in and sings the famous Steve Martin song,"King Tut" in front of the class.... :)
