As we are studying the intricacies of Ancient Egypt, one can admit that it is always fun to experience things for oneself. So, the burial practices of the Egyptians provide a great foundation for exploration. Therefore, we are creating our own tomb/sarcophagus out of a shoe box. Students will create a tomb, decorate it with a cartouche, create life scenes on the walls, and place what they want to bring with them to the afterlife inside. Students will then create a clay modeled sarcophagus to be placed in their shoe box tomb. Cheap, creative, and entertaining! :)
