Ser escriba: el mejor trabajo en el antiguo Egipto (¡clase reducida!)

Gain a real appreciation for Egyptian hieroglyphics and for those, the scribes, who invented it.  The evidence is that ancient Egypt DID have the first scribes in the world - and not the Sumerians, as archaeologists once believed. 

Other Class Highlights:

• How hard it was to attend scribe school that included 
    physical punishment.
• Why scribes were among the top echelon of professionals in 
    ancient Egyptian society. 
• Who was allowed to become a scribe?
• Why scribes were crucial to keeping Egyptian society 
    functioning.
•  How much scribes go paid.
•  What ancient Egyptian scribes have done for modern 
    Egyptologists and archaeologists.

You'll also see what a scribal kit looked like (I've got a great copy of one) and the types of mediums (materials) they used to write on: stone, clay, wood and papyrus.   Through a brief, very relaxing video, we'll see how papyrus was made into paper.

How I teach:

- Classes with only four students.
- Lots of interaction.  
- Dramatic Keynote (PowerPoint) presentation with illustrations, 
   maps and photos of ancient artwork.
- Animated lecture and discussion.
- The showing of genuine antiquities from my collection.

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.
