Who Was King Tut? by Roberta Edwards CCSS Reading Comprehension Questions/Vocab
As I studied ancient Egypt with my 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders, I must admit, it was very difficult to come up with material to supplement this unit. The things I found were either too mature or too dry. This book is a fantastic resource for a unit on King Tut or ancient Egypt, so I just had to make a study guide. Included in this study guide are:* Vocabulary for each chapter without the definitions (to allow students to define the words)* Questions for each chapter (both literal and inferential)*

Through the use of centers, students can collaborate and discuss topics and content they examine for each era in history. For example, you can have students navigate through four or five different centers or stations to help them learn about different aspects of Ancient Chinese culture, like literature, geography, government, and major historical events or achievements.
By making ancient history come to life through a variety of interactive and immersive activities, teachers can help students develop a deeper appreciation for the subject.
