This is a great follow-up class if you've taken (Your Everyday Life in Ancient Egypt). Over twenty years ago, a naturally mummified, unknown 10-year-old girl was discovered in the sand close to a Roman fort near the Kharga Oasis in Egypt's southwestern desert. There were about 60 other nameless mummies found along with her. Who was she? We'll give the mummy girl a name, using a list of ancient Egyptian female names. And we'll cover the following: • What is natural mummification? • What's it like to live on an oasis? • Her house: We'll look at some ancient models and decide what her house might have looked like. • What did she eat and wear? • What her family life was like, including her parent's work. • What was her social life like? She wasn't old enough for marriage, but she certainly had friends. • The end of her life: No one knows what she succumbed to, but we can speculate. We'll use some of the facts of the times - and our imaginations. But by the end of this class, this little nameless girl will no longer be unknown to the world. (Class may go over by 5 minutes). How I Teach: - Classes with only four students. - Dramatic Keynote (PowerPoint) presentation with illustrations, mapsand photos of ancient artwork. - Animated lecture and discussion. - The showing of genuine antiquities from my collection. - The playing of a short video related to the subject. 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 and any recommendations. 4. Availability to answer a student's questions (by message) after class. 💥 For more scheduled classes, please scroll down to “Show Alternative Times.” Copyright ©, Ilene Springer, 2024 All rights reserved.

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 for this or another 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.
