Reading Annotations

Leave at least TWO substantial comments on the Book of the Dead.

Reading Journal 

Understanding the content of a primary source is essential, but so is understanding its context.  In your own words, explain the format and function of selection assigned from Book of the Dead.  What is the original language of the text, where did the text come from, and what was its purpose.  You can use the assigned readings or do some research on your own to answer these questions. In either case, you must cite your sources!
