For anyone else who teaches ancient civilizations, you are welcome to use the LiveBinder I put together. It has a tab with links to all kind of Ancient Egypt sites.

How will I begin teaching ancient Egypt?
I have a book of Ancient World Reader's Theatre Plays which I will start off with to grab their attention. I then plan on showing the connection between Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt. Before we start learning important vocabulary I'm going to pass around Egypt books and have students write down what they find interesting in the books and would want to learn more about.
How will I begin teaching poetry?
Before I even start teaching poetry I will start Monday and Tuesday by reading some fun poems to the class. We will begin learning types of figurative language on Wednesday. I plan on using a lot of music to begin with to draw the students into learning about poetry. I found a couple of parody's I'm going to show and then have them create their own parody.
In other news...I'm hoping to get back to a normal routine next week myself. I haven't been doing much exercising or anything for myself really in the past month with all I've had going on. This weekend I haven't been feeling that great so I'm truly hoping that Monday morning will bring a fresh start and a renewed spirit. I found this awesome song called "Breathing Air Again" that is about taking a breath of fresh air and trusting God to be with you through every step of the day.
Have a blessed week!
