Ancient Egypt

Description

A GIFT OF THE NILE – THE OTHERWORLD – SACRED WRITING – AMULETS & PYRAMIDS

ANCIENT EGYPT – 68 pages: Three weeks of detailed lesson plans with mentoring comments, resources, presentation notes, stories and texts are illustrated with a blackboard drawing, the children’s compositions, bookwork and artwork, photos, a hieroglyph chart, a grammar worksheet, a letter of information to the parents, and the Main Lesson Review block test.

The free supplement of poems and a song is an editable template which includes sheet music, footnotes and attributions.

The study of ancient civilisations continues with the culture of Egypt, linked to the life-giving River Nile and its three seasons. Drawing a map and painting a landscape impresses the land’s unique geography on the mind. Myths of the gods are heard, and an original text is read by the class. The Duat, scarabs, amulets, pyramids and picture scripts are explored; the story of Champollion and the Rosetta Stone prepares for the painting of hieroglyphs on papyrus. The third week ends with the concept of the social pyramid, the annual reading fundraiser for World Book Day, and a block test to show what was learnt.
