Teaching Egyption by Emma Churchill-Coleman
Egyption Day Review
by
Emma Churchill-Coleman, L3P
Recently, everyone in Lower Three had to be a teacher for a day.
First we were separated into groups and given an Egyptian subject to teach to the rest of the year group. We had about two weeks to successfully complete the criteria, which was to somehow teach the year group something new about Egyptians.
The first thing the groups had to do before starting anything else was to find out as much information as possible about our chosen subject. Then we got to choose how we were going to teach the subject; we had to get the class involved by doing an activity that lasted up to sixty minutes.
We designed a lesson plan, which was to perform a play with interesting facts about our subject and then to show a slide show with more facts about our subject and at then end we gave a quiz about all the facts that we gave them.
We had to have a learning intention (which means what we hope to teach) and the success criteria (which means how we were going to prove that they had learnt the learning intention). After we had done all of that we were ready to go.
On the day I really enjoyed doing all of the activities given by the other groups. I really enjoyed doing the code breaking because even though it was frustrating when I couldn't work it out, it was very rewarding when eventually I did.
I also enjoyed doing the priest activity, when we had to make up some kind of entertainment for the God (teddy bear) - our group did a song and dance.
I learnt how to prepare for the day, how to work well as a group and share my ideas with others. I really enjoyed the day!
