=**EVALUATION**=

What did you enjoy most about this task? the thing that i enjoyed most about this task is learning alot about what you dont hear everyday.i learnt heaps and now know about egypt and their gods. this was by taking points from britanica and facts on file to learn about isis(the god that i chose). it also made it so much easier when you attached the websites to the page, so we didnt have to spend a long time trying to find a good website. also the website was straight forward and good imformation What did you enjoy least about this task? the thing that i least enjoyed will have to be looking up the definitions of those words. however i did not know who they meant befoe now i have leant what the words mean, and that helped me throughout the task. another thing that i least enjoyed is that although i learnt a lot it was a little bit boring doing it and alittle stressful What did you find the most challenging? the most challenging thing for me would be writing the bibliography as you need to find when where and who made the book and it was quite difficult to find this information

i have learnt alot doing this activity and now i have more knowlegde of egypt and their gods. i am now more prepared for the tet coming up.
