Images of Ancient Egypt

Activity pages include background information for the teacher as well as ideas for teaching and assessing student learning. Most of the drawings and quotes that develop these activities are based on primary sources. It is through the eyes of ancient artists and writers that students can begin to understand why ancient Egypt was a great civilization, how the ancient Egyptians viewed their world and what things they valued. Such insights can help them better realize that the needs, desires and hopes of pas peoples were not so different from their lives today.
