Debate: Should Mummies be Displayed in Museums? 6th Grade Studies Weekly Wk 6
By Colleen Burdette
Research and Debate Egyptian Mummies:
As students learn about ancient civilizations it is a good time to tie in a debate activity. A big topic of debate in museums is the displaying of human remains. Students will take a side in this debate and research their side. They will then participate in a debate with the information they have learned.
This is an engaging activity and easy way to practice debate skills with a topic which doesn't generally cause high emotions in early teens. Students can learn to debate without emotions.
Easy prep for teachers as research sites are linked. The product also includes rubrics and follow up questions. Follow up questions increases rigor and helps students make connections.
Aligns with Indiana Social Studies Standard: 6.H.1.

The project is divided into fourteen sections, including the front pages. Sections include Language/Population, Habitat/Geography, Family Structure, Government, and several others. Each section has a list of criteria and questions that must be answered to complete the section.

There is a score for each section and teacher info on ways to make it work.
The project contains a cover sheet, a teacher's page, two student pages and a sheet to help students select an appropriate civilization.
