2/15

Today in west civ we went over our tests that we took a while ago. We had to answer 25 multiple choice questions and had two written answers. We had two choices for each written answer. I chose the important details of a pyramid and we had to name three of them. I named the building material, location, and how many workers you use. For the second written answer I chose to explain how the Nile River helped the Egyptians. I explained how it flooded and they made an irrigation system to water their crops. It also left behind rich soil that benefitted the farming. They also used it for bathing and traveling. Since they could only get to northern Egypt and couldn't get back down the river they invented the sailboat. The Egyptians took advantage of the wind to push them down back to upper Egypt.
