The final task, could be done as a CLASS/GROUP TASK. Students research one Egyptian god or goddess, which they can choose from a list on the second last page. They then complete the last page with the name of the god/goddess, a picture or drawing of this god/goddess, and three facts about this god or goddess. They share it with the class and can then create a part of the Egyptian pantheon on the class wall.
