=Final Project for Ancient Egypt - Create a Classroom Museum =

The students will work in groups of 4 to form 2 different museum items. Each group will create 2 artifacts that would have been discovered by archeologists in the ruins of ancient Egypt. Each group will be given several choices to pick from to work on together. Time will be given in class over the course of the unit. Students will also write a 2-3 paragraph report on their item describing what it was used for and why it was important to Egyptian people.  These will be presented in class on Museum Day. Members of the groups will act as docents to their projects to answer questions as students go through the museum. Each piece will need to be displayed in a Museum fashion to showcase their work.

At the end of each presentation, students will be able to wonder the museum and ask questions.
