Social Studies Readers Theatre Blog Post!

On Friday morning at Community time the 5/6 class did a Readers Theatre on Egypt. I thought we did good memorizing our lines, making props, and projecting our voices. Most people don't know about Hatshepsut and I feel like we did a good job of teaching them about her life and the things she did. I think since we have been studying Egypt for 2 weeks and we know the background of the story. When we presented the skit, I think some of the adults and children were confused on what was going on. What did you think about it?


Here is an interview on one of the teachers thoughts
on the readers theatre.

Hatshepsut is a Egyptian Queen. She became pharaoh when King Thutmose II died. His son Thutmose III took his place but he was so young. So Hatshepsut took his place. She made a trade expedition to punt. Where she got animals, incense, wood, and lot's of gold for the people of Egypt. She expanded trade to many different places and she rebuilt monuments.
