1. Review
Who can recall our previous discussion?

Our previous topic was about the story

Makato and the Cowrie Shell.
Like Makato we should be determined.
Because people who has determination are
able to reach their goals and dreams.

What was the important most important lesson

that the story taught us?
Exactly. With determination or perseverance
anything is possible.

(The students will do the activity)

2. Motivation
Before we proceed to our lesson, we are
growing to have an activity. I will group you
into six, count off 1-6.
(Hands out the word search)
Direction: Search horizontally, vertically and
diagonally for all 14 words, put all your skills
to the test and see how many you can find! The
first group to find all the words wins the game.

The culture and tradition of Egypt.

3. Presentation of lesson
Based on the words that you have searched,
what do you think is our topic for today?
Thats right. Today we are going to discover
Egypt.
And by the end of the lesson I expect to have a
deep appreciation of the Egyptian customs and
traditions.
4. Lesson Proper
All About Egypt
Ancient Egyptians worshiped over 1,400
different gods and goddesses.
The worlds oldest dress was found in Egypt
and it is 5,000 years old.
The statue of liberty was intended for Egypt.
The pyramids were built by paid labourers, not
by slaves. Thats a myth by Herodotus, a Greek
historian.
Ancient Egyptians shaved off their eyebrows to
mourn the death of their cats.
Most ancient Egyptian pyramids were built as
tombs for pharaohs and their families.
The afterlife were incredibly important to
them, they believed that by preserving a dead
persons body (mummification) their soul will
live on after life forever.
Unwrapped the bondages of an ancient
mummy could stretch for 1.6 km
The ancient Egyptian invented a lot of things
we still use today such as papers, pens, locks,
and keys, and believe it or not- toothpaste!
(Shows video clips off Egyptian culture,
tradition and history)
5. Fixing skills
1. What country is described in the
film/pictures?
2. What knowledge and information did you
get after watching/ observing?

3. Describe what you see, feel, hear and/or

touch.

(The students will watch)

The country of Egypt.

After watching we realized the differences
and similarities of the Egyptian and
Filipino culture.
Beautiful,
The great pyramids.
The sphinx.
The undiscovered treasures and labyrinths.
Yes, we have both Egyptians and Filipinos
value family ties.
Unlike us their rich history goes back
thousands of years before.

4. What attracted you most about this country?

Do you think you have common interests,
culture, or similar customs and traditions?

What make Egyptians different from Filipinos

or Thais?
6. Generalization
Even though Egypt is different from us, we are
still able to live in harmony with them. It is our
uniqueness that unites us all.
