Days 1-2 **Step One:** Choose one Ancient Egyptian god or goddess that you will focus on. No repeats in the class, so sign up with Mrs. Rowell as soon as you decide.

Ancient Egypt: the Mythology Egyptian Myth and Legend Index

Days 2-5 **Create a PowerPoint presentation of the infomation you gathered in Step 2**

Or, if you prefer, use Google Presentation. Either way, make sure you share your document with me when you are finished.

*Cover page is required with your name and the name of your god/goddess, of course, and why you chose the immortal you did.
 * Rules: **
 * Each box in step 2 should be its own slide.

*The next slide should be the names of the myths / folktales you were to find. Summarize one verbally - not in written form.
 * The second myth / folktale, I want you to retell over a series of slides. But here's the important thing. **I don't want any words on these slides. I want you to use pictures / graphics only (Hieroglyphs, after all were picture representations of words).** Minimum of 5 slides, maximum of 10 for this part. You may use modern pictures to represent this part of the story... however, it does need to be applicable.

**Stuff You Should Already Know:**
 * Obviously there should be graphics on each page, a font I can read, and slide/font colors that won't make me or your classmates blind
 * If you read directly off of your slide (or simply add a word or two), your slide will be marked as zero points.
