(More customer reviews)What a great unit about Egyptian history! This guide -- about 70 pages -- is filled with activities and visual aids to make ancient Egypt come alive for students of all ages.
It's perfect for any homeschooling family or homeschooling group. Public and private schools could also benefit from this teaching resource.
Most of this unit can be enjoyed without spending a cent. The supplies for projects and activities are probably things that you have around the house. You'll probably want to borrow a few books from the public library so children can look up facts, but the Internet (if you trust it) will work for this, too.
I especially like the variety of activities and projects that can be adapted for groups, classes, or families that include a variety of learning modalities, abilities, interests, and ages.
When we homeschooled, we generally used the Konos curriculum. So, I'm familiar with unit studies and I've seen a lot of them... the good, the bad, and the truly you've-got-to-be-kidding awful. When the author showed me this book, I was very impressed with it.
This is as close to perfect as any study unit I've seen. There are enough activity and project ideas to keep students busy (and happily learning) for at least a month, with the option of extending this for a full semester of in-depth study about ancient Egypt.
I'm very impressed, and highly recommend it to supplement any homeschooling curriculum, or to enhance studies in public and private schools. Parents who aren't homeschooling will enjoy this book to help children get better grades when studying Egypt, and think of extra-credit activities.
This book takes the effort out of planning studies, projects and activities related to ancient Egypt. When the teacher's having fun, the students do, too!
