If you have not finished your poem of praise about one of the gods from your Egyptian myth you must finish it for next class. You should also be prepared to recite the poem for the class.

Reflection NUMBER TWO on the process of creating your Ancient Africa Wiki:

Make sure to write a full paragraph describing your feelings in response to each of the following questions/statements. Make sure to spell check, grammar check, read out loud, and format with paragraph spacing before you click publish.
First, please post the question and then your answer.

• What would you change about the final product (the wiki you created) if you were to do the assignment again?

Secondly, respond to the next statement.

• Look at some of the other wikis from any class and find a few that you think are done exceptionally well. Tell me the name of the empire and the block, and then explain what you like about their wiki.

Ex:

Mali Empire- Block G
I liked the way……

Kongo Kingdom- Block D
This group did a great job….
