I learned that Egyptians believed in a lot of gods including, Sun god Ra, and god of afterlife Anubis, and etc.. Anyway, our stations went well, we all helped others find the right lincs and materials to answer the question. Yes, it was fairly straight forward, and we found the right materials right away. I think I like our station or group. We read the sheet by order, and there wasn't any chaos or disorders in our group. And, I think our story which is about the 'story' of Osiris and Isis is going great.

I learned the mummification process which was pretty interesting. The station that I was at was very fun because the people in my group were enjoyable. We got a little confused at the start of the station but quickly adapted to what we neede to do. Over all it was a blast doing the station with my friends!

I learned today that the Ancient Egyptians had a writing system called hieroglyphics. Hieroglyphics are pictures that represent words or sounds. My station went great! The questions were fairly straight forward to answer and I don't have any more comments about the stations. Well, bye!

i learned that the Great Sphinx was made to fear off thieves. My station is okay and has easy instructions to follow. However it seems that it might take along time to complete.

I learned it took a really long time to mummify someone. It took about 45 days! Our station was pretty easy. We ran out of time, but we can probably finish it next time. I found that I knew a lot of these facts already, but that's probably because I've read so many books... Oh, and when I tried to look at this one website, the iPad kept freezing then going back to the home screen. I'm not quite sure why it was doing that.

I learned a lot about mummification. People smash the brains of the corpses and pull the brains out through their nose! Eww! Despite the fact that this was pretty gross, it was very interesting and cool. Our station was fairly straight forward, I'm pretty sure we only had about 2 or 3 questions left to complete. Other comments might be that we were all having a lot of fun discussing about the sucking-brain-out-of-nose fact and our reactions were very funny. Overall, we had a humorous blast and since we didn't finish, I can't wait to get back into our stations with our friends! Okay, bye!

Hi! I learned a lot about the Rosetta stone and what important it has to us and the Egyptians! Our group went ok. We had some technical difficulties but the group of people worked well together! It wasn't super clear on what to do but we found out what to do by thinking! I have no other comments! Well, see you all tomorrow! Bye for now...

I learned some of the roles of some of the egyptians. My station went well. It was kind of confusing in my opinion. See you all tomorrow.

I learned that the Sphinx never had a nose! I didn't notice that until now. My station went pretty well it was easy to find the information, at least to me it was. wish me luck for the band performance tomorrow. See you all tomorrow.

I learned that Egyptians believed in many different gods, and I also learned how the pyramids were made. The stations were straight forward and I learned a lot of things from it and it was fun to work together with my group to figure out the answers.

I learned some of the Roles of the Egyptians. For example what the soldiers and farmers would do on there spare time. Some of our stuff was pretty straight forward but other things were a little difficult to find out.

I learned about how the Egyptian can tell north, south, east, and west by just looking at the stars and marking it. I also learned how the Egyptian waited for the inundation or flood so they can transport materials faster to build the Great Pyramids. My station was great and we all understand what we were going to do and stuff. PEACE OUT XD

I learned a whole lot about hieroglyphs and how it was discovered by a French Egyptologist who translated The Rosetta Stone which had hieroglyphic writing. My station was fairly straightforward because the first website had most answers to the questions. We had some trouble with the second website because the interactive screen game thing was way to small and it kept crashing. See you all later :)

I learned about the Rosetta stone and how it has 3 different hieroglyphics on it. My station was kind of straightforward. It was a little difficult because the website kept on crashing. See you today.

I learned more about the way Egyptians live! Like after they die ba comes into their tomb and I'm pretty sure takes them to the afterworld! I think our station was a little difficult because there are a lot of things you have to do at my station.
