Topic Work

Task 2:

This week you have been learning about primary and secondary sources of information. We came up with some good ideas in class about why primary sources are so valuable. Now imagine that someone in the future was learning about people who live in 2010. What could we bury or place in a time capsule for them to discover? What would it tell them about us? Write, draw or make something to show people what our life is like today.

Task 1:

Your first task is to create a pharaoh fact file. You will have looked at some pharaohs in class this week. Try to research some extra information that we didn’t cover in class using the internet (if possible), books from the library or any TV programmes you might catch! As always, think about showing the information in a creative way.

Here are some links that may help you with your first Ancient Egypt homework task.

• Woodlands Junior School’s Pharaoh page
• Tour Egypt’s Pharaoh pages
• Large page of Egyptian Pharaoh facts and biographies
• Ancient Egypt Online’s Pharaoh page
• King Tut One’s Pharaoh page
• Mark Millmore’s Ancient Egyptian Pharaohs page

I hope you find these useful!
