1. having to look up different things and put them on power points, tests, etc. helped us learn a lot more than just reading from a textbook
2. we did pretty good. when we did talked about the power point it wasn't fantastic,but i think we did OK.
3. typed just one word bullets in the power point so we could type more info in and talk about more things. also typed our outline and bibliography.
4.i liked learning how they lived and dressed. it's just really neat how different their lifestyle is from ours.
5.plan it on a day where nothing is going on, and we can do our presentations on that day that we dress up.

1.Learning the actual process of mummification, because I never really knew about mummification until we did this project.

2.I think our team did a really good job. We worked together very well. Although, James was being a little silly and forgetfull.

3.We could maybe focus more and get to buisness right away.

4. Even though our main focus was mummification, we learned some interesting facts along the way.

5.Maybe to actually give us some time to go over what we need to say so we can go up there and be like professionals, and not look like were very unorganized.

1.I liked getting to know about religious gods and the history of ancient egyptians. It is the first time I have ever done a power point for my project. I love it.
2. We did pretty good. We were first so I was a little nervous. Tierra wasn't hear so we sort of had to fill in for her.
3.Don't stop in the middle and look dumb.
4.I loved the mummification and also how their daily life. Mummification is like science and I love science. Daily life is just interesting.
5.Have a day completely when we do our presentations. Nothing else but presentations.

1. Most valuable to me is getting to know stuff I didn't know. It is fun to learn about a topic that you like to learn about.
2. I think our team did pretty well. The most effective thing was the visuals and power point because it shows the people what we are trying to say.
3. We could do even more research and put more effort into making all of it.
4. The most fun thing to learn about was the mummification because it is very interesting on how religious they are about it.
5. I suggest that each person does their own project because maybe some people didn't put enough effort into it. Maybe everyone did. Maybe not.

1. I got 2 learn things I did not know, & I got 2 teach things I learned, but I had fun doing it. It is a good thing 2 learn something new each day.
2. I think the most effective thing was when we gave the test. It brought out how the classmates used their brains. We said 14/15 of the questions, but only 1 person got a 100. I heard pople saying our team was going 2 b the easiest. They were wrong.
3. Tell them what they should put down in their notes.
4. I think the funnest thing 4 me was my topic, technology. It is a very big piece of info., yet it is easy 2 learn.
5. 2 write down everything I can. 2 listen and study every day, and 2 make the due items even better.

1 Learning about all of the new subjects and details that I never knew anything about before.

2 I think my team did overall pretty well. I think that our basic speech was the most effective.

3 I think that my team could ave said a lot more in our power point and presentation. We left out many parts to our test that we didn't talk about,too.

4 I really liked learning about the pyramids, because the team that worked on the topic did such a great job on it.

5 I suggest that all teams have more time to research their topics.

1. The most valuable was learning about Egypt from researching, listening to people talk about it, and dressing like Egyptians, with out reading from a text book.
2. We did good, only Hunter didn't give us his notes and only gave us pics. The PowerPoint because Vit. put in some good pics. and got good info.
3. Practice what we were going to say so we don't read off of the power point so much.
4. I liked the gods of their religion because it is interesting to know what they believed in the B.C.s.
5. We would need to Practice, know what to do next, and do work.
