During homeroom time I can't go to the library because my homeroom teacher only allows us down there for 10 minutes at a time, yeah I know it http://egypt.mrdonn.org/3kingdoms.htmlHey guys, this is Danielle. Do you guys have any ideas of what to put on the sarcofogus? Maybe I can be the one to be outlined. Who wants to draw and color? I would really want to write the eulogy! Katherine, maybe you can be the pro sober or do you want to read the eulogy and I will sob? Or Jake, do you want to read the eulogy and Katherine and I will sob. That might make more sense. Let's write in different colors so we understand. I'm purple.http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/mking/hd_mking.htm that is a good link with loads of info! Lol imagine jake sobbing!! Jake might be the most artistic. Yes, we are going to print out the eulogy. The Middle Kingdom (mid-Dynasty 11–Dynasty 13, ca. 2030–1640 B.C.) began when Nebhepetre Mentuhotep II reunited Upper and Lower Egypt, setting the stage for a second great flowering of Egyptian culture. Thebes came into prominence for the first time, serving as capital and artistic center during Dynasty 11. The outstanding monument of this dynasty was Mentuhotep's mortuary complex, loosely modeled on the funerary monuments of his Theban ancestors. Built on a grand scale against the spectacular sheer cliffs of western Thebes, Mentuhotep's complex centered on a terraced temple with pillared porticoes. The masterful design, representing a perfect union of architecture and landscape unique for its time, included painted reliefs of ceremonial scenes and hieroglyphic texts. Carved in a distinctive Theban style also seen in the tombs of Mentuhotep's officials, these now-fragmentary reliefs are among the finest ever produced in Egypt. Some info from the link. It's Katherine and I will be red. Okay soo, it will be easier for me to read the eulogy and Danielle and Jake can sob. Or be mourners right? Yeah and Danielle you're gonna be the sarcofogus. Who is probably the most artistic. We're printing out the eulogy right? Okay so we can work on the eulogy during homeroom on some days and we can all go down to the computer lab to work on it. The link I just uploaded is on top. (Btw, I'm editing with iPad, its difficult I saw that website too it isnt that good but its still something and I dont think you really needed to copy paste the information from the link we can just go to the link. Okay so do you like the idea of going during homeroom to the computer lab downstairs to work together on the eulogy? We can start doing that tomorrow or friday  I'll get on later I gotta go

How will we communicate with the home room thing? How about we go to the library from 8:10-8:30 cuz I have chorus... Sorry we can't do it on Friday cuz jake and I have orchestra. Tomorrow is the only time this week we might have during home room. And I won't copy and paste the info there anymore. I have an idea, why don't we write the eulogy on google docs and share it with each other. I will start us out and you guys can edit it.

I will be blue. I think I should read the eulogy. I also do not want to be a mourner. I am the not the most artistic. What do you guys think are the 7 qualities of the middle kingdom. stable food supply- in the pyramid, my notes said that the peasants farmed and were responsible for keeping the stable urban focus-

religious structure-

social structure- pharoh, gov. Official, priest, scribes, artisans, peasants political and military structure- the pharaohs had less power and the pharaohs didn't get buried in pyramids. there system of writing-They wrote with heiroglyphs artistic and intellectual activity- built the pyramids, and the artisans were HIGHLY SKILLED Jake and Katherine, you both have to work something out. I started out what you can call a template, for the Eulogy. We have to come up with a name for the dead person. Which is mainly why you can call it a template. On the iPad, I can't share the google docs with you guys but during home room, I will share it to you guys On google docs. Be sure to check your google docs account by tomorrow after school or even during school. whatever but I will have it in to you guys by the end of school. K? K. What symbols should we have on it? I wanna make the deity! I'm right brain and I love that kind of stuff so I'm definitely doing that. what we have: deity, 5/7 of qualities of middle kingdom, 3sources, little template of eulogy what we need: 3 other symbols to put on sarcophagus, 2/7 more qualities, absolute mourners, absolute eulogy reader, editing on google docs(not available until tomorrow)

= Our Pharaoh is based on Senusret. He ruled from about 1971 to 1926 BCE, during the Middle Kingdom. He was a strong leader who ruled a stable, unified Egypt. But, art, literature, and archetecture flourished whie he was reigning. The arts thrived under his rule. = I got this exact text from the TCI book, not the website. We may be able to use this in our eulogy. BUT!!! WE NEED A NAME FOR OUR PHARAOH!!!!! L What we have: pharaoh name, painted sarcophagus, some of eulogy, 3 symbols, new deity, eulogy reader, mourner, sar. Holder, quote What am I outlining. I'm going to outline the arms, the ankns, the whole body and the heiroglyphics because i already did it. what are some sights were you can translate into heiroglyphics? Could our motto be life is to short. did you guys finish the eulogy.

This is Danielle! I just finished the eulogy. Jake remember to wipe your eye and sniffle once in a while when reading. Katherine I saw you were editing it. You can print out your version if you want. I'm printing my version out so you guys can see it. yeah Life can be the quote.
