Within your Ancient Egypt project team, each person needs to complete one of the essential questions assigned to you.  If, within your research, you accurately answer the question and can speak about the question and answer for about 60 seconds, you are off to a great start. Remember, this is not a cut and paste from the internet exercise.  You should use multiple sources and list your references.  Don't worry about listing the references according to standard.  We will cover this procedure next week.
