Meet You at the Market: Food in Ancient Egypt (Small Class!)

Learn what the ancient Egyptians ate and drank every day for breakfast. See preserved bread good enough to eat today! Then join us as we "visit" an ancient Egyptian market where we can buy and sell food and and decide how to pay for it.

Assessment
There is a fun pre-lesson quiz that I ask kids to download before class. At the beginning of the class, we go over it together. And then at the end, we go over the same quiz to see what the students remember.

Class Experience

US Grade 9 - 12
Get out your papyrus shopping list!  In ancient Egypt, there were no home deliveries and no online shopping. But there was an exciting place to buy or sell your food products or wares: the marketplace.  

Learn what the ancient Egyptians ate and drank and how they obtained their food, including paying for it. We'll also visit a market in modern Egypt, very likely similar to an ancient Egyptian market (but cleaner).

On our way to the market from the Outschool classroom, we'll discuss:

• The staples - the basics - of bread and beer.  (I'll give you a special bread recipe so you can bake it in the ancient Egyptian way.)
• The kind of meat the average family ate.
• The cruel thing the ancient Egyptians did to their geese.
• The utensils or kitchen tools they used.
•  The desserts and sweets of the ancient Egyptians that even rival Ben & Jerry's today!

How I teach:

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 enroller, detailing how the learner did in class and any recommendations.
4. Availability to answer a student's questions (by message) after class.


I interact a lot with learners, encouraging kids to share their opinions, ideas, mistakes and triumphs.  I love it when kids laugh.  
After the class, I message parents/caretakers to tell them how their student did, and I include 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 enroller, detailing how the learner did in class.

Profile
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.

As a certified school substitute, I make the day more enjoyable - if it works out - by bringing an ancient Egyptian object into the classroom, whether I'm teaching language arts, social studies, science, consumer economics, art or even Native American studies.

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.  And, please, if you like, call me Ms. Sennuwy - my chosen ancient Egyptian name.
