Hello! Today… we are focused on MUMMIES!!
12/10 Quick Write:
We are expanding on the Afterlife conversation we had yesterday, and taking a deeper look at the purpose of mummies and the process of mummification. Today we are going to look at Mummies through the lens of Ancient Egyptians’ belief in the Afterlife.
First, you will read the article below and answer the following questions in your table groups.
THEN you will create a DEATH MASK– a personalized mask which would be put on your sarcophagus (or coffin) if you were an Ancient Egyptian. Since these masks were believed to help guide the soul back to the correct body, you need to make your mask unique to you!
The questions and reading must be done at the end of class. If you need more time on the mask, you may work on it at home, to be turned in tomorrow!
Have a lovely day 🙂
