Class Experience

US Grade 9 - 12
Rich or poor, if you had lived in ancient Egypt, 3000 plus years ago, you would have most likely  eaten the same breakfast for most of your life - just as royalty did.   As. for marriage., girls were ready for marriage around age 12 while boys who had turned 15 were picking out a bride.  These are just some of the facts we'll learn in this class about daily life for "middle-class" teens in ancient Egypt.

Lesson 1: Your Ancient Egyptian Home and  Family

Lesson 2: Your Food, Clothing and Appearance

Lesson 3: Learning, Chores and Work

Lesson 4: Friends, Fun and Relationships

Please see the 💥 SYLLABUS 💥 for 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.
- 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 students' questions (by message) after class. 

💥   For  more scheduled classes, please 
       scroll to “Show Alternative Times.”

Learning Goals

By the end of this class, students will be able to:
1. Explain why ancient Egypt was more often a SOCIALIST nation rather than a nation under tyrannical rule (even though the pharaoh's word was final).

Other Details

Parental Guidance
The only sensitive information is about the supposed sexual freedom young couples had before marriage. Also, most ancient Egyptian art shows some nudity.

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 a 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.
