184 Early World Civilizations: Supplemental Guide 10A | The Story of Hatshepsut
I am going to ask a question. I will give you a minute to think about
the question, and then I will ask you to turn to your neighbor and
discuss the question. Finally, I will call on several of you to share
what you discussed with your partner.- Evaluative Think Pair Share: Why was being pharaoh so
important that she declared herself a man? (She had already
been doing the work; she thought she was the best person to
be the leader; etc.) - After hearing today’s read-aloud and questions and answers,
do you have any remaining questions? [If time permits, you
may wish to allow for individual, group, or class research of
the text and/or other resources to answer these questions.]
Word Work: Tradition 5 minutes
- In the read-aloud you heard, “But tradition said the pharaoh
had to be male, not female, and we know how the Egyptians
felt about changing rules.” - Say the word tradition with me.
- A tradition is a way of doing something that has continued in
the same way for many years. - My family has a tradition of watching fi reworks on the Fourth
of July. - Does your family have a certain tradition? Try to use the word
tradition when you tell about it. [Ask two or three students. If
necessary, guide and/or rephrase the students’ responses:
“My family has a tradition of... ”] - What’s the word we’ve been talking about?
Use a Drawing activity for follow-up. Directions: Draw a picture of
one of your family’s favorite traditions.
Give students the opportunity to share their drawings and writing with
a partner or the class, making sure that they use the word tradition.
➶ Above and Beyond: For those students who are able to do so,
have them write about their drawing.
