30 mins in-class hours per weekClass Experience
Many children find the study of ancient Egypt fascinating. In this course, children will learn about key facts from Egyptian history, in a fun, interactive way. We will use and create maps, look at artifacts, video clips, and books, to piece together a picture of what life was like in ancient Egypt. The children receive a variety of materials and project ideas between webinar sessions, and are encouraged to use these resources to explore the topic further. Students will have numerous opportunities for hands on learning, (which requires a higher degree of parental involvement) outside of the webinar, and will be assigned a variety of projects, including writing their name in hieroglyphics, making Egyptian style jewelry, baking flat bread whilst learning about farming and grains, building a model shaduf to understand how to transport water to crops, and making a 3D model of the Nile River. Week 1: Introductions & What do I Know About Egypt? Week 2 : Where is Egypt? Locating Egypt and the Nile River Week 3: Animals of Egypt Week 4: Pyramids & Tombs - Preparing for the Afterlife Week 5: Craftsmen - Daily Life in Ancient Egypt Week 6: Hatshepsut, the Woman Pharaoh Week 7: A King and Queen Who Were Different Week 8: King Tut - The Boy King Week 9: The Last Pharaoh - Persia, Greece, & The Advance of the Romans Week 10: Let's Visit The Temple of Dendur Week 11: Let's Visit Karnak Students will have the ability to suggest topics for future classes, once we have established a core foundation.

Teacher expertise and credentials
This is truly one of my favorite topics to teach, and I have been teaching it to young students on Outschool as a multi session class for the past year. The content stems largely from frequent visits to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, as well as my interest in ancient history. I am currently pursuing further professional development in this field, studying hieroglyphs under one of the world's leading Egyptologists.
