If you like more QUESTIONS than answers, please join this class. 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.

Learning Goals

At the end of this class, students will be able to:
1. Explain how archaeology determines facts about THE LIFE of a MUMMIFIED PERSON.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
The only content which may be objectionable is the photo (s) of the remains of a mummified girl. Some learners could be squeamish about such images or facts about it.
Supply List
Learners will receive files to download before the class.  They will need nothing except materials or devices if they want to take notes on their own.
 1 file available upon enrollment
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Sources
There are a number of passages and images collected from several websites on ancient Egypt. These images and this information will be integrated into a Keynote (PowerPoint) presentation. Students will not have to directly go to any of the websites, but they will receive a list of resources so they can follow up on their own about the subject.

Profile
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.
