Setting the geographical context for the emergence of ancient civilisations is of paramount importance. This resource encourages students to use Google Maps to begin their examination of Egypt's physical environment. It also requires them to hone their skills in reading and interpreting data and constructing diagrams.
In assessing the role of the River Nile students are required to be creative using either their computers or crayons! Tips for being creative are provided in this teaching resource. No history resource is complete without primary sources! These are a part of students' learning experience too.
