Today's lesson focused on completing the unit based on life in Ancient Egypt. Mercer read material about a game board found in many Egyptian tombs. Mercer learned details about playing the game hounds and jackals and found out it was comparable to the famous American game called chutes and ladders. Mercer participated in an interactive game of hounds and jackals and learned how this ancient game was so popular during that era and still played today. Mercer spent the remainder of class learning information and facts about different islands in other countries using goggle maps. Mercer was on task.
