Some
handouts of the
reading

New Information: The Gods. A short

section of the textbook is read through
as a class.
Activity: Students complete a profile
piece on one of the gods, using their
devices to research. They answer
questions such as their role, their
appearance, draw an example, where
and how they were worshipped, their
symbols. Remind Students to cite any
sources used.
Students then write a short paragraph
explaining
1. How important do you think this
god/goddess was to Ancient
Egyptian Society?
2. Why do you think Egyptian
Society would have a
god/goddess specifically for this
role?
Closure:
Reflection: Students find a partner
who has done a different god or
goddess and share what they have
found about it.
Students who have not handed up
their timelines need to hand them up
now.

Students volunteer three

things covered in the last
class
Students read along as the
text is read aloud.
Students work independently
to find information on their god
or goddess. Some talking is
probably expected.

Accept all answers, prompt

and probe where necessary.
Prompting and probing
students, making sure
everyone is on task.
Helping students as required.
Keeping students on task and
not doing other things on their
devices.

Studying the Gods progresses

students towards outcome
(ACDSEH033) - The significant
beliefs, values and practices of the
ancient Egyptians, with a
particular emphasis on ONE of the
following areas: everyday life,
warfare, or death and funerary
customs.
Through independent research
students are working towards
(ACHHS214), (ACHHS213) and
(ACHHS210).
Students are questioned informally
throughout the lesson to make
sure they are completing the work.
A similar task is present in the CAT
and this is what will be marked.

Students discuss their profile

with another student. Students
are encouraged to work with
someone they may not have
worked with before.

Match students who don't

have partners, work with
students who are reluctant to
share what they have found.
