The kids and I have been working on oral presentations in history class lately.
We're studying ancient Egypt, and we've spent the last few days researching and writing about the Suez Canal, the Nile River and its cataracts (waterfalls, not cloudy lenses), the city of Memphis (Egypt's ancient capital), and the Library of Alexandria.
This afternoon, each of us stood up and gave a presentation on the topic we had researched. The kids did a good job, and we learned some interesting things. Did you know the Nile flows through 10 modern countries, and the Suez Canal follows a winding course through four lakes instead of cutting straight across the Sinai peninsula?
