What would YOU take to the afterworld? 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! "
