You as an Egyptian

Have the students draw a self-portrait in the Egyptian style. Remind them to show:

the head, hips, arms, legs, and feet in profile
the eye, shoulders, and chest from the front
men posed with the left foot forward, women with their feet together
a wig, jewelry, costume, and something magical and protective

Put on an Egyptian fashion show, using what the students have learned about Egyptian poses and costumes.
