Part II

Famous Egyptians Reflection

The presentations I heard last class were incredible! Everyone did a great job! It was funny and interesting to hear about each of our gods, pharaohs, or kings. I learned that King Khufu was the one who built the Great Pyramids of Giza. I also learned that many of us were all related. I had to be Nefertiti and I was related to Akhenaten and also King Tut (Tutankhamen) we were all family. Also I had not known about many pharaohs and kings but after those presentations in Social Studies I learned a lot. I learned that King Tut had to be king when he was only 9 years old. That was the one of the most interesting fact I heard that day because imagine ruling at only 12 years old! That would be total chaos! I also learned that the Greeks got their ideas of architecture from Egyptians. I thought that was very interesting because I had always thought that they came up with that.

I didn’t think my presentation was the worst or the best, I thought it was just okay. Next time I really wish that my hat wouldn’t fall out and that I wouldn’t be so nervous or conscious of my surroundings because I felt a bit pressured while I was waiting until my turn. I also hope that all my information was accurate because I wasn’t so confident about my information. I was a bit uncomfortable when presenting because my costume was bothering me because it was a bit loose. It was also uncomfortable because after watching some people’s presentation I was, “Wow! They were good!” So that was a bit scary. But overall everyone did a FANTASTIC JOB! Kudos to everyone!
