Nile River

• The Nile River is the longest river on earth.
  The Nile River flows from south to north. It goes
  to reach the delta. The Egyptians used the Nile
  as a source to grow barley, wheat, flax, and
  other crops. They were also happy when the river
  flooded because when the water level dropped the
  land would have beautiful rich soil. The desert
  that runs a long the Nile is called the Red
  Lands. The Nile River is also known as the
  Father of Life and Mother of all Men. All
  kinds of animals lived near the Nile. There were
  ducks, geese, water and nesting birds,
  crocodiles, and hippos. The plants that grew
  there were lotus, reeds, and papyrus.

Reflection I learned how to hyperlink and how to
insert cropped pictures. I learned who the
Egyptians served and how they ate. I also learned
what they do to make shelter and things they used
for hunting. I really am glad you read my slide
show and learned as much as I did on Ancient
Egypt.
