WELCOME to the 189th Issue of EduHound Weekly!



EduHound Weekly Archives at: http://www.eduhound.com/eduhoundweeklyarchives.cfm


From the Desk of Judi!

This week's topic is:

ANCIENT EGYPT

Around five thousand years ago the ancient Egyptians established an extraordinary and enduring civilization.

Their achievements have captured the imagination of the world ever since.

Some sites to help in this effort:

  • Life in Ancient Egypt: Teacher's Guide (Carnegie Museum)
    As you explore the different themes presented in Life in Ancient Egypt look for examples of change and continuity, tradition and innovation.

    http://www.carnegiemuseums.org/cmnh/exhibits/egypt/guide.htm

  • Egypt, Gift of the Nile
    The Seattle Art Museum has developed an extensive Curriculum Resource Unit in conjunction with this exhibition. It is available on-line for teachers everywhere to view lesson plans about the art and culture of ancient Egypt.
    http://www.seattleartmuseum.org/Exhibit/Archive/egypt/discover/teacher.htm

  • Ancient Egypt Online @ The Royal Ontario Museum
    This Guide is intended to provide parents, elementary and secondary school teachers, and their students with some of the tools they will need to explore the World of the Pyramids.
    http://www.rom.on.ca/egypt/

  • Ancient Egypt Webquest
    Elementary and middle students can now enjoy locating information on Ancient Egypt! Learn about Ancient Egyptian daily life, Egyptian mummies, Egyptian Hieroglyphics, King Tut (Tutankhamen), Egyptian games, and Archeology.

Good Luck!

EduHound Spotlight Site of the Week!

In honor of Ancient Egypt, this week's featured site is:


Ancient Egypt @ The British Museum
http://www.ancientegypt.co.uk

This site has been developed to help teachers get the most information for themselves and for their class. The site is divided into ten ‘chapters', which address themes or topics relevant to ancient Egypt. The ten ‘chapters' are presented on a menu page where the user can choose a chapter by clicking on the word or icon relating to that chapter. Within each ‘chapter' there are three sections: ‘Story', ‘Explore' and ‘Challenge'.

Good Luck!
