Sooner or later every teacher decides to foist a test on weary students who have just finished an assignment and might naturally expect some rest. To make the experience less painful, I am giving you all the topics that will be on the test. If you revise thoroughly, you will ace the test.
Topics:
- BC, AD, BCE and CE
- The Stone Age (use the quiz on this blog to revise)
- The Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age: differences between the two
- The hunter-gatherer lifestyle in contrast to the farming and herding lifestyle that began to develop in the New Stone Age
- Ancient Egypt
- The common people of ancient Egypt and their lives
- Farming, the Nile and the Nile’s seasons
- The power of the Pharaoh and the social hierarchy of ancient Egypt
- Writing – why it is important in a society
- Hieroglyphics
- Ancient Egyptian beliefs and religion
- Mummification
The test will be quite bearable, I promise!
Kind regards from Ros.
