I enjoyed this task because we were given websites to look at which helped us in this task as we did not have to go researching ourselves. It was interesting to look at all the Egyptian Gods and how they are all different. I did not like defining the words as each website gave me different meanings for the same word which meant I had to chose the most suitable definition. I found defining the words very boring. The thing that was most challenging for me was trying to find information that was different so that I could write some new facts.
