Class Experience

US Grade 5 - 7
This is a one time class. We will travel to ancient Egypt for less than hour. During our trip, we will visit the Pyramids of Giza, learn about mummies, discover some interesting and important inventions that came from ancient Egypt, and we will learn how to write our name like an ancient Egyptian pharaoh. We will be learning from looking at pictures, listening to some facts and doing some brainstorming as we find the answers to some informative questions. When we use a conversational teaching style, it will help to engage the learners and makes the information more receptive. We will also do a small art project at the end, as well as have a review of what we learned by means of a game on Kahoot!

In the game of Kahoot! points are awarded based on time and accuracy. For example, if everyone gets the question correct, students are awarded points if they selected the answer faster. Students will need to open a webpage, and type in Kahoot.it and then type in a game code. The Kahoot! app may also be used on a handheld device. Please have the app downloaded prior to class, if that is the route you choose to go.
