-- Ancient Egypt - ··racket 4 .. - Mr. Coll & Mr. Brach- Ware Middle School- Grade Six Egyptian towns and cities were spread along the Nile River valley. The Nile made it possible for Egyptians living in distant places to come together. The Egyptians were expert boatbuilders.

The Nile provided such good transportation material similar to paper. Imagine how much easier it was to communicate on this light-weight that there were few roads in ancient Egypt.

I fact, the English word paper comes from "papyrus.," It was easier to write on papyrus than on the bulky clay tablets the Mesopotamians used. Many of temples and other monumental structures of ancient Egypt still stand. Without the Nile River, however, they probably would never have been built. As the Greek historian Herodotus The Great Builders said approximately 2500 years ago, Egyptian civilization was "The gift of the Nile." Main Idea: Huge buildings in ancient Egypt were a reflection of their beliefs about the after-life.

It discouraging outsiders from invading. The Nile River, which runs through the desert, is may have affected their beliefs in an afterlife. The concept of an afterlife played a central role in sometimes called "the river in the sand, ancient Egyptian life and culture.

The River in the Sand The Pharaoh and the Gods The Nile's yearly floods deposited tons of silt in the river valley. The deposits made the soil black and fertile. Every year around October, the floodwaters began to retreat. Then the farmers Egyptians believed that the ruling pharaoh was the living son of Re, the sun god. The pharaoh planted their seeds. They harvested their crops during the months the Nile was al its lowest was also linked with Horus, another sun god. The pharaoh was not only ancient Egypt's chief levels. The Egyptians knew the Nile would flood each year. But they could not predict how judge and commander in chief, he was also the chief religious figure. His religious example much it would flood or how high the water would rise. In years with very low floods, there might guided the common people in their daily lives and in their preparations for the afterlife. not be enough food. In years with very high floods, the waters would destroy fields and homes. Temples were everywhere in ancient Egypt. Some were dedicated to major gods, like Re. Others The ancient Egyptians found ways to manage the unpredictable river. They built canals to carry were dedicated to local gods. Pharaohs had temples built in their honor so that people could water from the Nile to the parts of the land the flooding did not reach. They strengthened the worship them. riverbanks to keep the river from overflowing. Ordinary citizens did not gather for prayer in temples. Only priests carried out the temple rituals. Smaller buildings stood outside the temple grounds where common people could pray or leave offerings to the gods. Many private homes also contained small shrines where family members worshiped their gods and honored the spirits of dead family members. Preparing for the Afterlife Average Egyptians were not buried in pyramids. They made careful preparations for the afterlife, however. Family members were responsible for burying their dead relatives and for tending to their spirits. Egyptians believed they could help the dead person live comfortably in the afterlife. They prevented bodies from decaying by treating the bodies with preservatives, or mummifying them. The Egyptians filled tombs with items for the dead to use in the afterlife, and they decorated the tombs with art. They also made regular offerings to honor the dead. Lesson Summary In response to the unpredictable flooding of the Nile River, ancient Egyptians built canals and strengthened riverbanks. The Nile made transportation easy and supported rich trade. The Nile River not only provided rich farmland, but mud for pottery and bricks. The papyrus plant that grew near the Nile was used to make papyrus, on which the Egyptians could write. Religion was central to the lives of ancient Egyptians, and they spent much time in preparation for the afterlife. The Egyptians built pyramids as a place for pharaohs to spend the afterlife.

NJ Center for Teaching and Learning 29• www.njctl.ong Specials Assignments May 11 - May 22

Hello from the WMS Specials Team,

Attached are the assignments for the next two weeks. These assignments from your specials teachers are required and need to be submitted in order to be graded for Quarter 4. There are three options that you have in order to submit your work:

Work Submission: o Physical copies of work can be turned in to the school. a Photos/Videos of work can be posted to the "MS Specials" Microsoft Teams page. a Photos/Videos of work can be emailed to your Specials Teachers.

We recommend that work be submitted virtually if possible, to alleviate the amount of work needing to be physically scanned. Listed below is each of our work emails so you can contact us with questions and work submission. Your child also has access to our Microsoft Teams page at "MS Specials" using their Clever login, where they can be in contact with us asking any questions and submitting their work. We also hold weekly 'Specials Hangouts' on our Teams page, which are virtual meetings for students to see us and their classmates. If submitting work on Microsoft Teams, make sure to post to the specific specials tab/section as opposed to the main/general tab. Ms. Page is asking that you post library work submissions to her already existing "Library Media" page on Microsoft Teams so all work is in the same place for her.

No matter the format of submission, physical or virtual, you can either take a photo of the attached paper, checking off and initialing each completed activity, or you can turn in the actual product of your work. For example, a drawing, journal writing, or music worksheet can either be turned in physically to WMS or can be posted as a photo to us through email or Teams. For any physical activities, especially for Mr. Bernier, you can post photos or videos of you completing those to email or Teams.

Ms. Hanley (Art) - [email protected] Ms. Page (Library)-vpage@ware k12.ma.us Thank you for all that you are doing during this time, Ms. Morin (Music) - [email protected] WMS Specials Team Mr. Bernier (PE) [email protected]
