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.
