Post for December 12

For your blog post this week I want to keep it simple as you SHOULD all be preparing for your exams in anticipation of the questions. For your post think back through the semester and pick out a piece of evidence, fact, particular topic, etc. that either confirmed or changed our expectations about ancient Egypt. Alternatively you could compare something learned this semester with similar phenomena in a different culture (including your own) or another historical period. Keep it to one paragraph and don't worry about referencing. I want to see what resonated with you all throughout the semester.

Post for SUNDAY 12/4

Due at SUNDAY 9 PM

For Sunday we would like you to come up with a question for the final exam. It should focus on material covered since the midterm but of course can require an answer that demonstrates cumulative knowledge from throughout the semester.

Think about questions that will enable you to pull from lecture, section, and the readings (primary and secondary) in order to show both the breadth of your knowledge and the depth of your thought on particular subjects.

All questions should lend themselves to answers that entail building a case around EVIDENCE learned in class or the readings.

Have a great weekend!
