Virtual History - Ancient Egypt
Virtual History - Ancient Egypt is a totally engaging, multi-level computer simulation that was developed with state and national standards to support targeted learning objectives and student outcomes for World History and Ancient Civilizations. In this 5-7 day module, students assume the role of a village leader who assigns work tasks to the villagers of a Nile River civilization. Basic human needs must be met - food planted and harvested at just the right time, fish drawn up from the Nile and bricks for housing construction must be made. Copper must be mined. Tools must be forged. Irrigation ditches must be dug. The students' decisions determine the success and growth of the civilization.
 Virtual History - Ancient Egypt is a highly visual and interactive computer simulation that comes with everything you need to effectively teach a class. This includes pre-use activities, training videos, standards-based reading screens, built-in assessment, and post-use essays that encourage Internet use. Lesson plans, answer keys and simulation hints are provided.
 Reading and Assessment
At each level of the simulation students are presented with multi-media content screens. These screens contain detailed, standards based, information on ancient Egypt and create a strong interdisciplinary tie to reading, reading comprehension, spelling, and grammar. Each of these screens is followed by a short quiz. Students cannot return to the simulation until they have answered all the questions correctly. This motivates and keeps students on task, even students with special learning needs such as ADHD.
