Unit 4: Ancient Egypt Timeline

Now that you have read all about life in Ancient Egypt from the Old Kingdom, through the Middle Kingdom, and all the way up to the New Kingdom, I want you to create a timeline of some of the most important events in Egyptian history.

Directions:

Step 1: Read the events that you will be using on your timeline

Step 2: Color the pictures that go with the events.

Step 3: Get 4 sheets of paper (same color)

Step 4: Glue them or staple them together end to end, overlapping them about 1 inch. Be sure that your 4 sheets measure at least 1 meter, (100cm)

Step 5: Trace a meter stick with pencil on your paper.

Step 6: Create a Scale. You need to have the years 5000BC - 0 on your timeline. I used 10cm = 500years. (see my example)

Step 7: Mark the scale and write it on your timeline in pencil.
