What is a mummy? Who used the process known as mummification? When was the process used? Why was the process used? Describe the process of mummification. Name a famous mummy discovered in Egypt and list five facts related to the discovery? How does the discovery of ancient mummies help us today? What was your favorite part of the journey? Why?
1. Literature in the classroom library.
2. Websites.
Step 1 --- Choose one book from the classroom library to read silently during class. After reading the text, record your "findings" in a learning log. Organize the information on a graphic organizer provided by the instructor. Share the facts you have discovered with your colleague.
Step 2 --- Search through the websites provided for important information to complete your research. Add this information to your graphic organizer. Share the facts you have discovered with your colleague.
Step 3 --- Jot down the "findings" from the graphic organizer on a sequence flow chart to arrange the order you will present the information in for your summary. Ask your colleague for feedback before starting your summary.
Step 4 --- Write your summary.
Step 5 --- Revise and edit your summary. Allow your colleague to check your summary for errors.
