This unit is designed to allow students the opportunity to augment their social studies skills. Students will focus on learning new vocabulary words and their spellings as well as collecting new information about Ancient Egyptian culture. Students are also being exposed to the topic of Ancient Egypt in both their art and language arts classes. I chose the book entitled Mummies and Pyramids so that the students could make connections across the curriculum.
Objectives:
1. Given the reading of Mummies
and Pyramids,
the students will learn about Egyptian culture and be able to compare and
contrast it with their own culture by completing a Venn Diagram.2. Given the reading of Mummies and Pyramids, students will sequentially label the steps in the process of mummification.

will practice these assessments during class and have to replicate them on the
unit exam.

the mummification process in order from left to right. This
