“Assessing Famous Pharaohs” Research Project
Greetings, my loyal protégés!
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to request your
help in a great undertaking. I request you research one of the great Egyptian pharaohs from
W
my accompanying list and present your findings at the annual Egyptology Convention held in
Cairo in two weeks. I realize this is short notice, but imagine the audience. This is your
opportunity to present your research to the world’s leading Egyptologists. It could be your “big break” into our field!
First, you must assemble a team of assistant researchers. This is far too large a challenge to
IE
handle on your own. Choose no more than two helpful individuals. Together, the three of you must conduct extensive research about one of the following pharaohs: Akhenaten, Cleopatra,
Hatshepsut, Khufu, Ramesses II, Seti I, Tutankhamen, or Thutmose III. My colleagues in Cairo
will expect a well-researched PowerPoint presentation (or Keynote presentation, if you prefer a
PR
EV
Mac) explaining the following:
The perceived strengths or weaknesses of the pharaoh you have chosen;
Their contributions to Egyptian life and culture.
Oh, and another thing! I need you to email me a two-page summary, briefing me on your research findings, by the end of next week. Once received, I will review your findings and pass along your letter to the convention organizers, so they may place your topic on the convention’s agenda.
Enclosed, please find additional papers to help you make this project a smashing success!
Yours truly,
Dr. Garrett Samuels
