On the Wall

Ask the whole class or smaller groups to work together on a mural-size drawing for the classroom, pretending it is a modern tomb wall. Discuss what favorite activities the students would like to do forever and what special people, belongings, and food they would like to have with them always. They can use the list from the Favorites Forever activity. 

When the project is finished, have a class discussion about the ways in which the class wall painting differs from ancient Egyptian painting, not only in subject matter but also in style.
