I presented a PowerPoint on Egyptian art. Before I began, I had them write down everything they knew about the ancient Egyptians since some of them had already studied it on their own. I then had them share what they had written. Then I went through the presentation and did a similar question and answer thing like I had done with Mesopotamian. I didn't finish all that I intended because I didn't prepare for everything, but I think they had enough to understand the themes and culture of the Egyptians, which was my main goal. I then introduced the next studio assignment, which was creating a comic. I linked the Egyptians to this project by explaining that Egyptians created narrative with pictures and heiroglyphs, and the contemporary narrative of this would be comics. They made some links between the two ideas, such as the idea of gods and superheroes, and that the Egyptians idealized their figures, just as modern superheroes are idealized.
