SNAPdragon : History & Geography : Ancient Egypt

Name in Hieroglyphic

http://www-ceg.ceg.uiuc.edu/~haggag/hiero.html

This was a really good site. We chose it because we thought it would be interesting to see our names written in hieroglyphics. It was useful so we could get an idea of what hieroglyphics looked like. We typed our name and then it showed what our name looked like. I think that this site could be improved if we were able to write a whole paragraph.

We chose this site because it helped us get information about hieroglyphics, it was interesting and it was fun. We were able to see what our name would look like in hieroglyphics. the site was in list form, which was good because that way we could go look at anything we wanted just by scrolling down the list. This site had pictures of hieroglyphs when we typed our name in an any word we wanted to see. there were improvements when we went to this site since it was fun. I think other kids would enjoy looking at this site.

We chose that site because we wanted to see all of our names in hieroglyphics. It might be useful if you run across an Egyptian and you want to tell him your name or other words that you might want to say to him. It is an activity that you type in your name or words the computer will translate it into hieroglyphics for you. There were not that many pictures but the pictures of the words on name you typed in hieroglyphics. The only improvement that would say is that should be more pictures and places to go to see more hieroglyphics.

Tour of Egypt

http://www.gypsymoth.ento.vt.edu/~ravlin/kensegypt.html

It had great pictures and it let you know and see most of the main things in Egypt. It is very useful because it tells you about the different places and things they did in Egypt and that they still do. It was in story form which I like the most and it listed many things that you can click on to find out more about. It had pictures and they had good graphics. they let you see the pyramids and people doing their work. I think that they should talk or write more about ancient Egypt and think not only of Egypt now but Egypt along time ago.
