The Nile: Its Mystery, What's in It, What's on It (Small Class!) ๐๐๐ญ๐ ๐
Class experience
US Grade 9 - 12
COVER PHOTO: The Nile Delta at night as seen from theย International Space Station in October, 2010 It's not just how it looks, but how it acts.

I hold a Diploma in Egyptology from Oxford College in England and a Certificate of Museum Studies from Harvard University. And Iโve been to Egypt three times on personalized, educational tours.

I think you'll agree that The Egyptian Room is an attractive, fun and inspiring place to learn.
Homework Offered
Students will not be given formal homework, but I will strongly encourage students to bring in questions and comments on the following week's topic. I would be thrilled if some students ask to contribute something for the next class.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class

ย 1 file available upon enrollmentStudents do not need any extra materials. I will send files before and after the class that will be used during the class and afterward for the student's own research, if desired.

The only sensitive information is that most ancient Egyptian art shows some nudity. Some students may be uncomfortable talking about frightening animals, such as crocodiles and snakes that live in the Nile.
I will be referring to many different websites that feature information on the Nile in ancient Egypt. And I welcome hearing suggestions from students regarding various resources that I may not know about.
