Egypt Festival
Egypt Festival
To culminate our study of ancient Egypt we will hold an Egypt Festival in which our classroom becomes a museum gallery dedicated to Egyptology.
You will research an element of Egyptian culture and create a museum-type display for this event. You must show depth of knowledge of some element of ancient Egyptian culture and civilization. You will gain this knowledge through research and note-taking.
The festival will be held during your class time on February 12, 2016. Since the Festival is an “event” (with invited guests), you MUST have your project ready on time. Late work is NOT accepted.
Deadlines (models the skill of splitting a big task into smaller ones):
1. Choose Topic-5 pts. due 1/11/16 :
Write a sentence or question that defines what aspect of ancient Egyptian culture you will research.
Examples: I will research the process and cultural symbolism of mummification.

How and why did the Egyptians mummify people?

We will make a bibliography from your source worksheets in class on February 8. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you present. You may need to do more research after I have reviewed your information.
3. Project Plan-10 pts due 2/5/16:
This project is a museum display.
