Holiday Break Assignments:
The information and skills needed to complete these projects were practiced in class throughout December. Additionally, parts of the project were assigned as classwork and/or homework before the break to hone down the amount of work that students would have to do over the break.

First draft and final
draft of paragraphs: The first drafts of the paragraphs on Egypt’s geography and

complete them over the holiday break. If you did complete them, you just need
to copy your paragraphs onto the final draft sheet and fix any mistakes you
made.
