Mrs. Hursh’s 9th grade students brought learning to life as they explored Ancient Egypt through engaging, hands on presentations. Using a giant map of Africa, students taught their audience by identifying key locations, sharing important facts, explaining why those locations mattered, and connecting their topics to Ancient Egypt’s success and belief systems. Each group was evaluated by a guest judging panel made up of Mr. Hursh, Mr. Feely, and Mrs. Krause. First, second, and third place groups were recognized for their outstanding work with a Tut Treasure Treat and a certificate.
