Usually I'm really creative and imaginative, but this week vacation sort of made me lose it. Call me crazy but without school I 'm so bored, and I have nothing to do except read and watch tv and play on the computer. So i decided to work on this project for Social Studies. We have to pretend that we are a teenager that has left Egypt for a 40 year horuney to Canaan, and explain what happened during that time period. I wrote everything up to there, because truthfully I can't imagine spending 40 years in the desert, or anywhere else. I wrote about Moses, the Red Sea parting, how he got the Torah on Mt. Sinai, and how God said he would return them to Canaan if they followed his laws. I have to write about what they ate, wore, did, etc. I'm a girl and in my textbook and doesn't describe anything that went on and even the information they provide is about the men, how they took over the family did pyramid work etc. So I would be 45 any ideas?

You would be a grandmother and possibly a great grandmother. You would know a great deal about raising animals, gardening, children, making clothes, raising the children, gathering water. You would probably be considered a wise old woman because woman didn't always live that long back then. Perhaps you were a healer or a Yente always in other peoples business :)
Think about life in a desert without modern day technology.

You did ask about daily life and that you would be 45 at this point in your writing right? Cuz that's what I got out of it. Maybe some people didn't read the whole thing.

Did you mention their shoes didn't wear out and become old. Neither did their clothes. They ate manna which is like a corriander seed and it is so small and white that it looks like frost on the ground. God sent quail for them to eat. God split a rock in two and out of it came water.

well manna fell from heaven every day but the sabbath, friday was the only day they were alowed to pick up more than they could eatin one day, that way they could eat on the sabbeth. when they tired of that they complained and God sent them Quail. they ate it till they Got sick. i also remember reading that they were all bitten by snakes and God told Moses to make a golden snake on a stick and any that had faith in God who Looked at it were healed. as for teens they played whatever games existed for that time period as well as running and playing with other teens.
