The Use of Symbols in Egyptian Religion: High School World History
A curriculum by Ms. Sharlyn Scott


Designed for high school students in honors World History or Geography, this curriculum by Sharlyn Scott, social studies teacher at Desert Vista High School in Phoenix, Arizona, leads students from the ancient to the modern, asking them to “analyze artwork, sculpture and architecture to determine different cultural world views and values.” AntiquityNOW is thrilled to share this thoughtful work, developed after Scott's Fulbright Hays study tour to Egypt in the summer of 2010.
