1. GOVERNMENT
The type of government in a society affects the daily lives and the rights of the people in that society. Create a skit, song or video to demonstrate the advantages and disadvantages of Ancient Egyptian Government (theocracy).

2. IT’S A MUMMY
Learn about the mummification process, then create a detailed poster or presentation explaining the process (step by step).
(Logical/Math, Visual)

3. TOMB RAIDER
In Ancient Egypt, only the “most important people” were buried in Pyramids or Tombs surrounded by treasures and gifts for their afterlife. Either create a poster/presentation explaining what/why certain items were made/chosen, or create a Collection Box with items of that you value, and would like for your afterlife (explain why you chose each item).
(Interpersonal, Visual, Linguistic)

4. POWER PLAY
Create a set of trading cards (like Pokemon) that represent at least 5 people (or types of people) from ancient Egypt. Be sure to include their “title” (pharaoh, King Tut, Slave, etc), some details about them and give them “power” ratings to rank each one.

How were the Pharaohs similar to and different from government leaders of today (in Canada)?
2. Why did most “regular” Egyptians spend their whole life building burial tombs/gifts for the rich and powerful?
