Note: Cover the work surface with newspaper. This activity can
also be done outdoors.
To make the paper: Mix an equal amount of glue and water in a
large tray. Tear brown paper bags into strips. Immerse the paper
strips one at a time into the glue mix. Lay the strips so that they
overlap each other. Let the strips air-dry.
Once the paper is dry, have students write their name using
the hieroglyphic alphabet (see Instructional Master 6B-1 for an
example of a hieroglyphic alphabet).Guest Presenter
You may wish to invite an architect or archaeologist to speak
to your students about their work and give your students an
opportunity to ask the guest presenter questions.
