Think about class today and reflect on the presentations you listened to. Explain with details and specific information what you learned and what you found interesting about the presentations you heard in class.
In social studies we learned about many improtant egyptian leaders. my favorite part of this was getting to see my classmates in costumes. Some of them didnt dress up so i guess they missed out on the fun. i liked listening to howthe people impacted Egypt because if i ever go there and we see people doing things e.g. believing in one god, i would know why they still do that and who started it. My favorite person tht i learned about would have to be Hatsepsut because i love how she dressed up as a guy to become a pharaoh to gain respect. i thought it was really unfair how they had to erase her name from old egyptian records just because she was a girl.
What would you change to improve your speech/presentation if you were to do the assignment again?
Iwould change my speech by making it more interesting, i think some people might have found it boring because i was mainly just listing things. For my presentation, i would try to develop more of a stuck up accent to add effect of being a queen. overall i think i did fine though i could have put more effort into making it more interesting for other people.
