Create a well-crafted essay of one or two pages outlining a likely theory of King Tutankhamun’s death at the age of nineteen. Your goal is to convince peers your age that this is the most reasonable theory according to the evidence. Incorporate the subjunctive and conditional moods within your writing. Use the rubric to help guide your writing. Remember to check your spelling (by using a spell checker and also against the original text) to ensure the proper spelling of names and places in King Tut’s world.

Reminder: Spell checkers are great, but they’re not always right. Think about terms specific to Egypt or even Tutankhamun’s name. A spell checker won’t know if you’re spelling these correctly, so check with the reading to keep consistent.
