Shh...listen in on a conversation between an ancient Egyptian mother and her daughter as they talk about beauty, marriage and childbirth, working in and outside the home and rights as a woman in ancient Egypt.
You and I will find out the secrets of ancient Egyptian women not only in the form of facts but also with made-up conversations between ancient Egyptian mothers and daughters.
Week 1. Beauty, Learning, Love and Marriage, Childbirth and Children
Week 2. Work inside and outside the home, your rights as a woman
One of the most fun parts of this class is that students can role-play (optional) the dialogue of the mother or daughter. (I'll play the mother :)
Please see the 💥 SYLLABUS 💥 for more class details.
How I Teach:
- Classes with only four students.
- Dramatic Keynote (PowerPoint) presentation
with illustrations, maps
and photos of ancient artwork.
- Animated lecture and discussion.
- The showing of genuine antiquities from my
collection.
- A video clip comparing the women of ancient
Egypt with those of ancient GREECE.
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.Learning Goals
After this class, students will be able to:1. Relay facts showing what the MOTHER/DAUGHTER RELATIONSHIP was
like in ancient Egypt.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I hold a Certificate of Museum Studies from Harvard University and a Diploma in Egyptology from Oxford College in England. And I’ve been to Egypt three times on personalized, educational tours.
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 in this 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.Reviews
