Topic: Ancient Egyptian History Subject area:History Year: 7 Group members: Alex Bailey, Soraya D'Cunha, Kendal Del Fuoco, Laura-Jane Yeoh

Department of Education Curriculum : History Technology

Introduction:
 "Through this history curriculum, students in Years 7–10 pursue broad questions such as: How do we know about the ancient past? What key beliefs and values emerged and how did they influence societies? How did the nature of global conflict change during the twentieth century? This curriculum also provides opportunities to engage students through contexts that are meaningful and relevant to them and through past and present debates." (Australian Curriculm 2012)

Task Overview:
Our chosen task requires students to research either a pharaoh or slave from ancient Egyptian times. They will then present their information using forms of technology such as: PowerPoint, film or creating an online story book. Information can be presented as either a story or in the form of a report depending on their chosen form of technology. Once they have completed their research each group will present their findings to the class, and from here will discuss the differences between the daily lives between the two classes. They are then required to compare their lives to someone living at that time, and on the final lesson write a short paragraph about this which will be assessed by the teacher.
