Family Relationships

Ask each student to draw a picture of his or her family using scale (size) to show who are the most important members.

After looking at the scene of Menna and his family fishing and hunting birds along the Nile (Menna and his family fishing and fowling), ask the students to think about their favorite family outing or about a family outing they would like to take. Create a picture of the scene, what happens, who is there, and so on, or write a story about the event.
