Egypt today: 6 KS2 powerpoint Geography lessons.

Each lesson is broken into short focused activities. There are opportunities for pupils to recall prior learning, participate in a short quiz, take notes from a YouTube clip, scrutinise and compare population graphs and weather charts (included on slides), research native animals and use maps and atlases to locate Egypt’s key cities and geographical features. Each set of slides contain images to help pupils ‘get a feel’ for the geography of Egypt as well as simple cultural information such as greetings in Egyptian Arabic at the beginning and end of lessons.
Great to link with cross curricular topic such as Ancient Egyptians, Deserts, Myths and Legends, Early civilizations etc.
