This is a bundle of two great lesson plans on Ancient Egypt. The first lesson plan is a great webquest on Ancient Egypt from the following website:

The same website is used for the second lesson plan. Students will take notes on Ancient Egypt while pretending to be a Mesopotamian merchant. Students will write a five paragraph essay about Ancient Egypt. This is a great bundle, please check out my other lesson plans and read what other teachers have said about them.

This website is very student friendly. The student handout will guide students through the five paragraph essay format. Each paragraph will focus on a different topic such as:

Government and Writing
Daily Life

The assignment uses creative writing by allowing the students to take the role of a Mesopotamian merchant writing a report for King Hammurabi. A grading rubric is included for the teacher.
