Ancient Egypt

The unit culminates in a creative project that allows students to synthesise their learning and demonstrate their knowledge of ancient Egyptian society. Throughout the four weeks, students will engage in a variety of activities, including group discussions, creative presentations, and hands-on projects. They will examine primary and secondary sources to better understand the significance of ancient Egypt in world history.
