154 Early World Civilizations: Supplemental Guide 8A | Approaching the Great Pyramid
Word Work: Treasure 5 minutes
- In the read-aloud you heard, “The god Osiris will even let us
bring any treasure we have with us when we go there.” - Say the word treasure with me.
- Treasure is gold, jewels, or other valuable things.
- Columbus traveled across the ocean hoping to fi nd treasure.
- What things have you seen or heard about that you would
consider treasure? Who might have treasure? Where might
treasure be kept? Try to use the word treasure when you tell
about it. [Ask two or three students. If necessary, guide and/
or rephrase the students’ responses: “The treasure is kept
in.. .”] - What’s the word we’ve been talking about?
Use a Drawing activity for follow-up. Directions: Pretend you will
be given any treasure that you request. Draw a picture of the
treasure that you would like to have, and explain why in writing.
[Some students may need to dictate to an adult what will be
written. Others may write a word or two, one complete sentence,
or several sentences. Give students the opportunity to share their
drawings and writing with a partner or with the class, making sure
that they use the word treasure.]
