Do you ever try to guess the number-one song or movie during a countdown?  Sometimes it turns out to be the one you want; sometimes it doesn't. But let’s see how you do when we have a countdown of the top ten ancient Egyptian inventions.

Some of the inventions you'll be familiar with as you’ve heard about them before.  About others, you'll ask yourself: “The ancient Egyptians invented THAT?” And, yes, there will be some surprises.    

With each item, we'll cover the following:

• What the invention is.
• When it was created within the 3000 years- 
    plus of ancient Egyptian history.
• Why did it last until today?
• How did the teacher (me) decide the 
    placement of each invention in the 
    countdown?
• The other cultures that may have been 
    experimenting with this invention at the 
    same time.

As part of the lesson, students will share their own list to see how it compares with the others in the class.

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.
- The playing of a short video related to 
   inventions in ancient Egypt.

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. 

** This class could run over by five minutes or so!

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.
