Ancient Egypt: A CE-MIST TILT (Traveling Interdisciplinary Literacy Trunk)
Session # II
CEU # 1321
Saturday, March 2, 2013
Time: 12:00 - 12:45
Room #: 108
In this unit, sixth grade students research the climate and papyrus plants of ancient Egypt. They look for simple machines in ancient Egyptian inventions and construct a pyramid, then measure its sides, angles, and surface area. They design an Egyptian temple using line and rotational symmetry, create an illustrated alphabet of Egyptian hieroglyphs, and design an Egyptian death mask. Join us as we share our experience working with the Center of Excellence in Middle-Level, Interdisciplinary Strategies for Teaching (CE-MIST) program at the University of South Carolina Aiken. We will discuss the process we used to create our school’s TILTs (Traveling Interdisciplinary Literacy Trunks) and we will show you our completed trunk on Ancient Egypt. Participants will receive access to CE-MIST resources and tools including sample interdisciplinary unit plans and templates to make your own TILTs.
