Unraveling the Mystery of King Tut - Reading & Writing Course

In this 4-week class, you will learn all about King Tut, Egypt's "Boy King!" 

We will explore King Tut's life, reign, death, and tomb discovery as well as the mysterious Curse of the Pharoahs. 

Each class will feature an original text read aloud by me, Mrs. B! I will utilize common instructional strategies to help learners retain the information, including breaking down key vocabulary and revisiting key points. At the end of the reading, learners will be provided with a Google Form link to answer standards-aligned comprehension questions and to respond to an engaging writing prompt. The final class will have a Quizizz to complete as the final assessment.

My teaching style is laid-back, positive, and responsive to the needs of each learner. I will provide constructive feedback for each student upon the completion of each week's lesson. I am available to support students throughout the course.
