=WELCOME TO LAUREN B'S SOCIAL STUDIES PAGE!= =ENJOY YOUR STAY!= =HAVE FUN!= =READ A LOT OF COOL STUFF!=

We recently did our first social studies research project. There were lots of different topics to choose from. The Great Pyramids, The Afterlife, Mummification, Gods And Goddesses, and Everyday Life. I chose Mummification. I chose this topic because I thought it would be interesting to learn about people in the past that could've been my ancestors. I was right! After we chose our topics, we filled out a packet that would help us with our project. then we found books on our topic, and took notes on little note cards that we would use to type our essay. There were two parts to the project: the typing part, and the creative part. For the creative part, I made a model of an Egyptian grave. My dad helped me. I think it turned out really well. I liked this project because I learned a lot about my topic, along with others. I'd like to do another project like this, except with Language Arts. That would be fun.



My favorite civilization we studied this year was Greece. I really enjoyed learning about all of the gods and goddesses.

I thought it was really interesting to learn about all of the new civilization because I didn't know that much about them before. I also found that learning about how their religions and beliefs were different than mine.

I think I am good at social studies, but sadly I didn't really enjoy Mesopotamia.
