Ancient Egypt Studies: Live It, Be It!

We have begun our Ancient Egypt Studies, and are learning a lot about this impressive civilization!
Focusing on the State Social Studies 6th grade standards at:

Just a few of our lessons so far have included comparing and contrasting Ancient Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt in a variety of ways.
We have also read multiple versions of the Myth "Osiris and Isis" (and acted it out).

 After reading, acting, and creating, students are ready to write an impressive essay of what they have learned.

Students also tried to make their own pyramid....

We are very proud of the Champions of A8!

Ancient Egyptian Deities!

We studied Ancient Egyptian Religion, then students created their own deity to re-create using a Lego figure. Next, students created a word bubble of what that god/ goddess would say as an attention grabber to a persuasive essay as to which deity is the most interesting and why! Champions students did an amazing job!
