Write Like an Egyptian

In history, we have been studying about the Egyptians and how they initially carved hieroglyphics in stone, the Mesopotamians and how they made clay tablets for carving cuneiform writings, and then how the Egyptians made papyrus paper out of reeds to write on. We compared the pros and cons of each and then made a couple to compare. We made paper from torn up scrap paper... and then made clay tablets, which are still drying. Needless to say, both projects were a huge hit. Asa and Addison both agree that the cuneiform alphabet is way harder to write use than our own!
