Introduction

In this unit, students will explore the role of an archaeologist, learn about Egyptian mummies, and synthesize their knowledge in a speech.

Often when students learn about Egypt in school, their learning touches on several topics (such as pyramids, mummies, and hieroglyphics), while no one topic is really explored in depth.  Furthermore, when students learn about these topics, they rarely learn about the discoveries that gave us so much knowledge about them.  With this WebQuest, students are given an opportunity to deeply explore the topic of mummies.  By also exploring the role of archaeologist, students will not only learn about mummies, but also about expert study in this field.

This lesson was developed in the course Teaching with WebQuests , a course offered by the Teacher Education Institute.
