Hit: Egypt websites

[Cathie Bashaw <cathie@WIZVAX.NET>]

This hit is in response to the following target which I sent last week:

Can anyone recommend some good web sites, appropriate for 5th and 6th
graders, that have anything and everything related to Egypt, past and/or
present?

A huge thank you to everyone who sent suggestions!!!

You may wish to look at my travelogue and photojournal of egypt, jordan
and israel:     http://edweb.gsn.org/mideast
I don't know how useful it would be in the classroom, but it might provide
some insight on a westerner's perspective of modern egypt..=20

Frighteningly enough, the CIA has a good web-site on reasonably current=20
information about countries all over the world.  Take a look at the World=20

Hi ... I would suggest that you troll for Egypt links at:
http://www.julen.net/aw/meta/
This is "The Ancient World Web Meta Index," and is a wonderful starting
point for any online inquiry into things ancient.=20

Most of these are museums.  Last time I looked, they all had great
info.  I also have other resources (books, cd-rom's, etc.) if you would
like!

Try the SCORE web site for History/Social studies (located at
http//www.rims.k12.ca.us/SCORE/) Select search by grade level. Choose 6th
grade (since that is the 6th grade curriculum here in Calif.). Under the
Egypt section, select resources.  Here you will find a list of web sites
that have been screened and approved by a panel of teachers and historical
experts.        From: Jamie Boston <jamieb@dcn.davis.ca.us>

This site is purely for fun, you type in your name phonetically, and it
shows you the hieroglyphic response. I tried to check it's current status,
and for some reason Netscape is not cooperating with me today!
