Egyptian Project - "Behind Every Great Man Is A Great Woman." Directions: Using what you have learned from class discussion, videos, texts and independent research, create a project which contains all of the elements listed below.

I am designing a project for some of Egypt's "great" women: Hatshepsut, Tiy, Nefertiti, Nefertari, and why they became powerful figures in ancient Egyptian society. The project I have chosen to complete is ______. (choose one of the options below)

 A. Design a: monument, elaborate tomb, temple, city, piece of jewelry, etc., that could have been presented to Nefertiti, Tiy, or Nefertari by her pharaoh husband in recognition of her contributions to his reign and as a token of his affection for her. You need to include 5 examples/topics from your pink paper into your project.

 B. Think about some women from modern history who have roles similar to those of Nefertiti, Tiy, and Nefertari. Create a list of these women and their contributions, then make a graphic organizer that illustrates the similarities and differences between the contributions of the ancient Egyptian queens and the women from modern history. You need at least contributions from the Egyptian Queens. You will need to compare/contrast them with two women from “modern history”.

 C. Compare and contrast Nefertiti, Tiy, and Nefertari by creating a graphic organizer such as a Venn Diagram to show the similarities and differences (at least 4 topics to focus on) between the three. Use these ideas to assist you with your similarities and differences: what was their popularity with the pharaoh and people, their support of the pharaoh and Egypt, their opinions on religion and politics, their strength as a woman, their family, etc.

 D. Create a series of journal entries based on the life of Nefertiti, Tiy, or Nefertari. Record three to five journal entries that describe major events that impacted on the pharaoh, the Egyptian people, or the queens personally. The journal entries should be written from one queen's point of view. The entries should be historically accurate, while including what the student believes the queen's thoughts and feelings would have been. This should be based on what they learned about her from research.

I will design this project by creating a ______. (choose one of the options below)

*Three-dimensional diorama or model

*Color drawing done on poster board/large mural paper/etc.

*Multimedia presentation

*Other: I have my own idea and it has been approved by my teacher……..

With my project, I have included two to three written paragraphs which explain:  How did the various pharaohs show that they appreciated the support and love of their chief wives, Nefertiti, Tiy, and Nefertari?  In what ways were these women different than previous chief queens? How were they the same?  At a time when the women of the world were not typically in positions of power or seen as equal to men, why do you think the Egyptians decided to raise the status of these three women and women in general?  In your opinion, how much influence did Nefertiti, Tiy, and Nefertari have on the way their husbands ruled as pharaohs? Were their influences positive or negative? Explain your answer using specific examples.
