When studying Ancient Egypt I believe that it is important to recognize that the pharaohs and queens were instrumental in nearly every aspect of life, religion, architecture, economics, and more. When I taught Ancient Egypt to middle school students, I decided that it only made sense to learn about this subject through the lens of the pharaohs and queens. I started with an introduction lesson on Ancient Egypt with a look at civilian life, and geography. We looked at the impact of the Nile River,

Your kids can learn about the daily life, pharaohs, religion, and pyramids of ancient Egypt from these short videos.
This unit provides a general overview of daily life in ancient Egypt in an engaging way that presents the information as a fun narrative. Students are transported back in time to ancient Egypt and produce a hands-on notebook with interactive components. They follow the field diary entries of an archaeologist, creating art, foldable notes, and other activities for each entry and topic. See the preview for sample product pages and student examples. I highly encourage the use of resource books and videos with this unit to supplement the basic ideas being presented in the foldable notes and field diary entries each day. I hope this unit provides the launching point for discussion, curiosity, and learning for you and your students. ********************************************************************************* You Might Also Like • The Middle Ages: A Time Travel Unit Study ********************************************************************************* Contents Getting Started General Resources (recommended videos and books) Social Hierarchy In Ancient Egypt Ancient Egyptian Religion Foldable Note Day 1 Teaching Guide: Introduction Student Unit Cover Page Archeologist ID Time Traveller Notebook Day 1 Field Diary Entry Scarab & Amulets Foldable Notes Scarab Design Day 2 Teaching Guide: Agriculture Nile River Brainstorming Activity Day 2 Field Diary Entry The Nile River & Irrigation Foldable Notes Gifts Of The Nile Matching Worksheet Day 3 Teaching Guide: Clothing & Adornment, Language Day 3 Field Diary Entry Jewelry Foldable Note & Weseka Necklace Craft Papyrus & Rosetta Stone Foldable Notes Hieroglyphic Decoding Activity Day 4 Teaching Guide: Housing, The Afterlife, & Tombs Day 4 Field Diary Entry Ancient Egyptian Tomb Structures (mastaba, step pyramid, pyramid) Foldable Note Tomb Excavation Foldable Note (The Afterlife, King Tut's Funerary Mask, Cartouches) Steps Of Mummification Foldable Pyramid Day 5 Teaching Guide: Ancient Egyptian Art Day 5 Field Diary Entry Interview with an ancient Egyptian artist Relief and Scale Foldable Notes & Postcard Activity Final Diary Entry Blank Postcard Template Hieroglyphic Alphabet Keys Word Wall Words & Definitions (archeologist, relief, mummification, hieroglyphics, weseka, step pyramid, mastaba, the Rosetta Stone, papyrus, irrigation, the Nile River, amulet, scarab).

As a kid in school I loved when my teachers celebrated creativity in the classroom. In fact, when I reflect on my own education, the moments I remember the most were the creative ones. I vividly remember making salt maps of the state, book report mobiles, models, papier-mâché globes, interactive brochures, puppets, and dioramas. What about you? Are the instructional moments that you remember the most tied to creative activities? There's just something so powerful about hands-on learning with creative opportunities. Now, more than ever, in our assessment-focused world of education, it's time to infuse creativity into the classroom! Check out these fun ways to turn ancient history lessons into creative hands-on learning experiences! EARLY MAN During this project, students complete 5 different learning stations. Students complete their work on flame shapes that they can transform into a 3-D fire. Working both independently and with small groups, students learn about The Paleolithic Era, the Neolithic Era, the Great Migration, and elements of a civilization. (Learn more here.) ANCIENT MESOPOTAMIA As students complete 6 learning stations about ancient Mesopotamia, they'll build a 3-D ziggurat. The stations focus on geography, religion, accomplishments, politics, economics, and society. The end result is a 3-D structure that students can display on their desks or around the classroom. (Learn more here.) ANCIENT EGYPT With this hands-on project, students learn all about ancient Egypt before turning their learning into an interactive sphinx. Students build flip-able parts of the sphinx poster while their progress through 6 different learning stations. The end result is a celebration of Egypt and their learning! (Learn more here.) ANCIENT CHINA Learning about ancient China is especially engaging with this fact hunt and doodle poster. Not only will students collect critical facts about the ancient civilization, they'll also display their learning with doodles that they create.

ANCIENT INDIA If I have to pick a favorite hands-on World History project, this one might be it. During this project, students add information about ancient India to different layers of a lotus flower while progressing through 6 stations. When they're finished, they turn their learning into a 3-D lotus flower. The end result is a stunning collection of learning. (Learn more here.) ANCIENT GREECE This hands-on learning project includes 6 learning stations about ancient Greece. During the stations, students create an accordion-style book to showcase their learning.

After completing 6 engaging learning stations about ancient Rome, students will turn their learning into a 3-D version of the Colosseum.
