Off the Chart

Very good. Slaves don't fit on the pyramid because the classes on the bottom of the pyramid were larger in size that those on the top. The slaves rank at the bottom, but they are not the largest group. They were a relatively small group of people. If you attach them to the pyramid, it would look more like a christmas tree.

I am going to attach the Section 4 Quiz. Once you complete the quiz you can start studying using the Jeopardy game. The quiz was a take home for your class, with page numbers, because we were Skyping with you (the other classes took it in class without notes or the book).

Oh wait

Oh wait, now I got it. They formed a separate class.

Social Pyrmaid

I think I know now. It's because they had rights?
I only have one correction. The Social Pyramid should read as follows:

1. Pharaoh
2. Priests, members of the pharaoh's court, and nobles
3. Middle class people, including merchants and skilled workers
4. Peasants and farmers

Go back into the text and see if you can tell me why slaves do not rank on the social pyramid.
