Class Experience

US Grade 3 - 6
In this one week flex class, students will explore a wide variety of the history and culture of Ancient Egypt while considering multiple perspectives. During our adventure together, your learner will explore some astounding inventions of Ancient Egypt, such as in the fields of mathematics, medicine, tools and more.

Students will enjoy learning using a variety of methods, including videos, slide presentations, drawing, brainstorming, and arts and crafts. They will be encouraged to engage in the class by asking questions and sharing their thoughts from their unique perspective in the online classroom discussion board (since this is a flex class).

To ensure a comprehensive understanding of the subject, we will also explore multiple viewpoints and interpretations of historical events. We will play a review game at the end to remind ourselves of what we learned. Please have the worksheets downloaded in advance of the class. These will help your learner to take good notes and consider different perspectives

There are several historical sources that can help ensure that your class on Ancient Egypt is not biased and includes the perspectives of marginalized groups. Here are the top sources that I use in my Ancient Egypt classes. 1 - "African Mathematics: From Bones to Computers" by Abdul Karim Bangura 2 - "African Mathematics: From Ancient Origins to Modern Hieroglyphs" by Chris Rorres 3 - "The Hidden Figures of Egypt" by Sarah Parcak 4 - "Black and Brown Inventors and Innovators in Ancient Egypt" by Kiki Petrosino 5 - "Nubian Engineers and Engineering in Ancient Egypt" by Dr. Mohamed Ibrahim Bakr References 1 - https://www.thecollector.com/ancient-egyptian-inventions/ 2 - https://discoveringegypt.com/ancient-egyptian-inventions/ 3 - https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/ap-art-history/ancient-mediterranean-ap/ancient-egypt-ap/a/ancient-egypt-an-introduction
