Interesting Lesson

My teacher did a really cool lesson today. They've been studying Egypt and they had to bring in a bar of soap. They had to pick an Egyptian theme and carve it into the soap. Some did really cool carvings of pyramids, heiroglyphics, etc. They did the activity outside and had soap everywhere - but it was a good time. They learned how difficult it was to write back then and they got to explore something they thought was interesting in Egyptian history. I thought it was cool. My teacher is letting me copy all of his lesson plans for my "collection" which I think is awesome because I have gathered some neat ideas!

I really like that lesson plan your teacher used. It seemed like the students would have had a lot of fun doing it while also getting something meaningful out of it...I'll have to keep that lesson plan and activity in mind
