Meet an Ancient Egyptian
Your class will meet Djedma'atiuesankh, a young Ancient Egyptian, and use primary and secondary resources to find out more about her life.
This workshop uses enquiry-based learning to encourage children to connect and empathise with Djedma'atiuesank through a combination of research, discussion and questioning. It explores key ethical issues, such as the obtaining and displaying of grave goods and human remains in museums.
