     In social studies we just finished our Egypt project where we had to choose something from Egypt and make a diarama of it and create 2 poems about it, a cinquain and a title poem. A cinquain is a poem that only has five lines all reflecting on one topic. The first line should be the subject which must be a noun. The second line should have 2 adjectives that describe the subject. The third line should have 3 action verbs that end in "ing" and describe  the subject. The fourth line should be a phrase or sentence that describes the subject. The fifth line is a synonym for the subject. A title poem is a poem in which the letters of the title are going down and the each line represents/describes something about the title, conveying a single thought. Some people did this project by themselves and some people partnered up. Some things that people did were: sarcohphagus, pyramids, shaduf, lotus flower, nile, canopic jars, sphinx, etc. Overall everyone's projects were amazing. The poems are 10 marks each and the diarama is worth 30 marks, so the whole project is worth 50 marks.

      We just handed in a title page on our new unit Greece. We had to include  5 pictures that have something to do with Greece from our textbook. On a separate piece of paper we have to type up 5 facts about each thing that had to be double-spaced. Some things you could draw and write about are Spartans, Parthenon, columns, what they ate, the Trojan Horse, etc. The title page is out of 20 marks.
