The students will learn to read, translate, and write the Egyptian alphabet. Another term for these symbols are called hieroglyphics.
Hieroglyphics are picture symbols representing an idea, object, or sound.
Today we are going to learn how to read, write, and translate some Egyptian symbols or hieroglyphs. Tell the students that the friend must translate the message sent into the English alphabet, and then must respond back by using the Egyptian hieroglyphic symbols. Then the student must pick an Egyptian hieroglyph created by another student and translate it into English. This translation must be turned into the teacher. Students who are having trouble may consult the teacher.
