We choose our topic by reading my world history textbook. I forgot my book for literature and decided to read my textbook instead of getting one demerit. I had always liked reading about ancient kingdoms and have always had a fascination about Egypt. But I never thought I’d be that interested in reading about it after that day, but it wasn’t Egypt that had caught my attention it was Kush it’s southern neighbor. It was hypnotic I couldn’t get it out of my head. The facts I had learned were not like any other they actually went in one ear and stayed in the other. And the topic was fresh no one in the class was doing the project. Meaning I could be the one to educate someone on it, which really influenced my decision. I pitched the idea to my sister who I was going to work with me no matter the topic and she learned about it and we agreed then asked my friend De’Quan to join us who needed partners,
We conducted our research by trying to focus on a few main topics and not trying to have to much information that had nothing to do with each other. We also tried to help each other out if we were having trouble or didn’t understand some of our paraphrase or need help doing them. The first thing we did to created our project was by choosing our presentation type by using process of elimination kind of we wanted to do an exhibit at first but the word limit was way tight and we couldn’t do a paper so a website made perfect sense. We had just enough words and we could also add visual aids to help the reader. The second thing we did to create our project was creating our website and cramming it with info and pictures. The final thing we did was check over the website.

We decide on our presentation type by finding the pros and cons of doing a exhibit or website. A pro is doing an exhibit would give a visual appeal like no other could do. A con is the word limit like I said before we couldn’t squeeze in all the facts. A website had many pros though, we could have a lot of words to fit an, we had somewhat of a visual appeal, and have enough space to fit in the different topics. The con was we would have a little problem making the website because our lack of experience.
Our topic relates to the theme people, events, ideas. People the Kushites and Egyptians were most affected and parts of other countries such as Rome. Events because of The Rise of the Kush was lead up to the battle with Axum and also had to do with the Black Pharaohs of Egypt and changing their history to. Ideas I believe that the Kush only took over Egypt to restore and lead Egypt in it’s glory.
