Ancient Egypt

1st ESO students are also learning History in English. They have been working with computers and have done some projects about Tutankhamun, who was an important Pharaoh in Ancient Egypt. As a result, they have learnt many curious things about this king, his treasure, his curse... Tutankhamun was born 'Tutankhaten' during the Amarna period, probably at the capital, Akhetaten (Tell el-Amarna). The identity of his parents is disputed but they were perhaps Akhenaten and his lesser wife Kiya; the boy was a royal prince and ascended the throne at the age of about eight years. Tutankhamun married Ankhesenpaaten, daughter of Akhenaten and Nefertiti. Recently, Tutankhamun mask has been in the news because some workers accidentally broke it and used glue to restore the broken parts. You can read more here. 1st ESO students have been studying about the first river civilisations and they have produced some interesting pieces of work, using different techniques: powerpoint presentations, word documents, prezi presentations... We are sure you will like them.

Hi everyone!

After a long time (ages!!) we're back again and will try to publish posts regularly from now on.

Today, we have chosen a short video. Listen to the words carefully and decide if the song really says what the subtitles say. How do we name those words which sound alike but in fact are written and have different meanings? Feel free to leave your comments below.
