The ancient Egyptians (AE) believed in taking their favorite objects--jewelry, pottery, games, food (!) and whatever offered them protection and comfort in the land of the deceased. Class Highlights: Here's what we'll talk about: • The HUMAN SACRIFICES that accompanied the pharaoh and nobility to the afterlife. • When and how the AE prepared their grave goods. • The poor versus the wealthy: how status determined grave goods. • The MAGIC DOCUMENT the ancient Egyptians coveted to guide them to afterlife. • A video clip, detailing the surprising personal grave good that King Tut took with him to the afterlife. How I Teach: I’m happy to hear questions and comments during the presentation--not only after class. Other features of my teaching style and philosophy: √ Classes with only 4 students. √ Lots of student interaction. √ Dramatic Keynote (like PowerPoint) presentation with illustrations and photos to enhance learning. √ Clips of videos to increase the understanding and enjoyment of the class content. √ The display of my collection's AUTHENTIC ANTIQUITIES used by ancient Egyptians. I encourage kids to share their opinions, ideas, mistakes and triumphs. I love it when kids laugh. After the class, I message parents/caretakers to inform them how their student did, and I send extra files for their interest. CLASS PRICE includes (in addition to the scheduled class): 1. Welcome message to both the student and enroller. 2. Quiz (actually, a learning tool) as a pre-lesson activity. 3. Personalized, post-class message to the student and en-roller, detailing how the learner did in class and any recommendations. 4. AI-generated SUMMARY for enroller (or student). *** REVIEW from a recent Student: "Hello Mrs Ilene, this is Janelle. I just wanted to let you know that me and my dad just got back from Cairo yesterday. It was a birthday present and it was the best trip I’ve been on! I got to share some of the stuff I learned in this class with my dad and I felt like I was living in ancient Egypt when we went to the museums. Thank you!

Teacher expertise and credentials
I hold a Diploma in Egyptology from Oxford College in England and a Certificate of Museum Studies from Harvard University. And I’ve been to Egypt three times on personalized, educational tours.
I've been captivated by ancient Egypt since I was 10 years old. And I feel it's my destiny to share my enthusiasm for and expertise on this beautiful and brilliant 5000-year-old civilization with all of you. I hope to see you soon for a class. I think you'll agree that The Egyptian Room is an attractive, fun and inspiring place to learn.
