Divide the class into four groups. Give each group one of the
Image Cards used for ancient Egypt: Image Card 7 (Farming Along
the Nile), Image Card 8 (City in Ancient Egypt); Image Card 9
(Hieroglyphs); and Image Card 10 (Egyptian Gods). Tell students
that you will give them a few minutes in their groups to talk about
the Image Card and what they have learned about the ancient
Egyptian civilization. Then, the class will come back together, and
each group will have a few minutes to share with the class.
If time permits, also ask students what they remember about
farming, cities, writing, and religion in Mesopotamia. You may wish
to refer to the Civilizations Chart to help students remember.
Finally, ask students what they remember about the leaders in
Mesopotamia, again referring to the Civilizations Chart to help
students remember. Ask students what the leader of Mesopotamia
was called and have them share what they remember about the
various kings and their contributions to the cradle of civilization.
