2. Get a piece of clay at a craft store (Mexican Pottery Clay?) and put your initials in the clay with awedge shaped stylus, use glitter glue or paint to write your name in Hieroglyphics,and scratch your name in Phoenician.
3. Write your name in English on the back. LET IT DRY BEFORE you bring it to school! Don't worry if it cracks! Just glue it back together and it will look REALLY OLD! Due Oct. 23 in order to get credit for this Quarter. Otherwise it will go on the second quarter grade.
