Process
Phase I: Pair up with a partner to brainstorm ideas about the task at hand.
Get your brains thinking and be better prepared for reading the
papers that Rafi has left. See if what you thought you knew about
the process of mummification was correct by working through this
webquest, or do you need more review? You may even want to
familiarize yourself with what a mummy is. Do you know?
Phase II: Knowing the importance of the mummification process in Ancient Egypt,
you best first determine why it was so important to them. Using
the papers that Rafi has provided unearth the reasons why Ancient
Egyptians mummified their dead.
The British Museum: http://www.ancientegypt.co.uk/mummies/home.html Odyssey Online: http://www.carlos.emory.edu/ODYSSEY/EGYPT/mummies.html After exploring why the Ancient Egyptians mummified their dead, prove to Rafi that you know what you're talking about by creating a list of the reasons in which the Ancient Egyptians did indeed mummify their dead. Your list should include:
Are you exhausted yet with
Rafi's papers? Well, pull through because you have much more to
learn. Considering you now know why the Ancient Egyptians
mummified their dead it would be helpful to learn the process in which
they used to do such an act. Rafi is counting on you, so make
sure you thoroughly read the papers. Don't forget to view the
links provided within the website to help you fully understand the
process of mummification (Hint, hint! Don't just view the first
page you see, look around a little.. you might just come across a
mummy!)

Complete the sequencing activity to prove you're competent. You must:

Consider the process of mummification that was once used in
Ancient Egypt and compare that to the process used in the United States
today. After doing some research you may determine that they are
quite different, but at the same time very similar. Since you are
nearly an expert on the process which is used in Ancient Egypt, you may
just want to research information on the process used in the United
States.
