Task
As members of a travel agency, you have been asked to "sell a trip" to ancient Egypt. Not only do you want to land this big account and prove ancient Egypt to be the very best destination, you are also a proud citizen. You want to encourage tourism, and show first-time ancient tourists all ancient Egypt has accomplished.
Each group member will be responsible for a section of a Google slides travel brochure.
Process
Before starting your task, please click on: watch a video by National Geographic, titled "Tombs of Ancient Egypt." It will provide an overview of ancient Egypt for your group.
Within each of your groups of four, each member will develop an area of expertise. Each member of your group will have to decide on and select an area in which he/she would like to be an expert from among the following topics:
•Fast Facts About Egypt : geography, language spoken, famous places, interesting tidbits
•Walk Like An Egyptian: daily life in ancient Egypt , clothing, food, families, boys and girls, school
•Egyptian Hieroglyphics: What are they? Why were they used? Samples of hieroglyphics
•Egyptian Pyramids: What do they look like? Where are they? Why were they built? Who built them?
Once the selection process is completed, each of you must visit at least 3 websites under your “expert” topic you have selected and write 5-8 facts about your topic from each of the 3 websites. Record the facts on your fact sheets. Your facts do not need to be written in complete sentences at this point. Be sure to print out at least 3 fact sheets for each member of your group.
