Introduce your students to the thrilling no prep Ancient Egyptian Scavenger Hunt! This engaging and interactive activity puts students in the shoes of a detective trying to find a long lost burial site of an unknown pharaoh who was said to have more riches than even King Tutankhamun.

Each student, or group of students, will receive 10 reading task cards related to Ancient Egypt, how the Egyptians modified their environment, how they used their local resources, the role of artifacts and archaeological features. The task is not only to read the cards but to solve 10 questions—the catch is that the answer to each question is found on a different card, encouraging students to read all the information thoroughly.

How It Works:

• Students will need to determine the code word for each card by answering the fill-in-the-blank questions.
• Once all the code words have been found, students must unscramble the letters from each code word to discover the final mystery word.
• In addition, they will collect clues to uncover a 4-digit code, which will help them successfully complete their journey.

Failing to unscramble the mystery word or crack the 4-digit code will result in the tomb remaining sealed forever, and the expedition will be lost to the sands of time. However, completing the mission means students will have made one of the greatest discoveries in history, uncovering the forgotten pharaoh’s solid gold burial site, filled with unimaginable riches, artifacts, and secrets of Ancient Egypt!

What Makes This Activity Perfect for Your Classroom:

• Engaging and Educational: Your students will be excited to play the role of an explorer while learning about Ancient Egypt and how the Egyptians used/modified their environment.
• Critical Thinking Skills: By having to cross-reference information from multiple task cards, students practice comprehension, critical thinking, and attention to detail.
• No-Prep Needed: Simply print the task cards and hand them out to your students! It’s ready to go with minimal prep.
• Flexible Usage: This scavenger hunt can be used independently, as a group activity, or even as a fast-finisher task. It works perfectly as a history lesson, or as a fun, educational activity!

Ideal for Different Learning Styles

Whether done individually or in groups, this scavenger hunt provides the perfect opportunity for students to collaborate and share ideas as they solve the puzzles. If students are working independently, it gives them a chance to practice self-paced learning while still engaging with the history of Ancient Egypt.

Perfect for History Lessons or Fun Themed Activities This activity fits seamlessly into your classroom’s history curriculum. It’s a perfect way to introduce and reinforce learning about Ancient Egypt.

This Ancient Egypt Scavenger Hunt is not only a fun, no-prep classroom activity, but it also ensures that students gain a deeper understanding of history while developing important reading and comprehension skills. Bring the excitement of the search for the Ancient Egyptian burial site into your classroom with this adventure-packed scavenger hunt.

Drawing Conclusions Questions, Making Inferences Questions, Inferences

This resource is also included in the following discounted Bundles:

• Inference BUNDLE
• All ELA Mega Bundle
• ELA/SEL MEGA BUNDLE

**********************************

ABOUT THIS RESOURCE

• Drawing Conclusions / Making Inferences
• 33 pages
• Includes 44 Questions
• PDF Zip File
• Suitable for Middle School Students
• Can be used for any text!

This resource includes:

------ 44 COLORED Drawing Conclusions Question TASK CARDS

------ 44 B&W Drawing Conclusions Question TASK CARDS

------ 44 Drawing Conclusions Question STRIPS

------ List of Questions (Easy access for teachers)

**********************************

Drawing conclusions refers to information that is implied or inferred. Students use important textual information to make meaning out of what is not clearly stated by authors/writers. Writers give readers hints or clues that help them “read between the lines,” since not everything is explicitly stated. Drawing conclusions enables students to move beyond simple decoding.

Drawing Conclusions is an important skill students need to master to enhance their comprehension of texts and “think outside the box.” Drawing conclusions is not only used in content areas, but also in problem solving, and in social interactions.

This resource features a combination of 44 Drawing Conclusions questions and question stems that cover the topics of character, setting, events, author, and quote analysis. They can be used as writing prompts, discussion/debate questions, or both! These Task Cards and Question Stem Strips can be used in a variety of ways and would make an AMAZING supplement to any lesson.

DESCRIPTION

• 44 Drawing Conclusions Question TASK CARDS - These Drawing Conclusions Question Task Cards can be used as part of a larger lesson, in guided small groups, whole-class discussions, partner discussion before sharing out with the larger group or class, writing prompt activities, formative assessment during or after reading, journal-writing, or even one-on-one with a teacher or parent/guardian! You can print the Task Cards out on gloss paper or regular paper and laminate. You may also organize them in a binder ring.

• 44 Drawing Conclusions Question Strips - These sentence question strips are beautifully created and feature the same Drawing Conclusion questions in the Task Cards. They can be cut, distributed, and used in many ways including distributing one or two to each student to think about, share their thinking and responses with a partner, or you can simply randomly choose a question strip and call on student to answer - Be creative!

• LIST of Drawing Conclusions Questions
  Also included is a 2-page LIST of Drawing Conclusion questions/question stems to allow easier access for teachers to read and select questions to work with. It’s like an overview page of the Drawing Conclusion questions listed in the Task Cards and Strips.

Lesson plans are not included. These Drawing Conclusion Question Task Cards can be used in addition to your own lesson plans and in such a way that best meets the needs of your students.

Task Cards and Stem Strip Ideas

• Have students practice questioning by completing the question stems.
• Set up literacy centers with different short stories or passages. Students can use the task cards before, during, and after reading.
• Organize students in small groups or pairs and have them go back and forth asking and answering questions orally.
• Lead a guided reading group to discuss specific task cards with students in need or who have shown difficult mastering the skill.
• Go around the room and have students randomly select a task card for them and their partner to answer. They will discuss, write, and present their response to the class.
