Language study with the Rosetta Stone:

Students can practice working with a variety of languages in the context of the Rosetta Stone. Students will read about how the Rosetta Stone helped archaeologists translate and understand Egyptian Hieroglyphics. They will then create their own Rosetta Stone.

They can complete one of three activities requiring different amounts of languages: one activity contains Egyptian Hieroglyphics and English, one contains just Egyptian Hieroglyphics, and the final contains no provided text. Provided text is "Mary had a little lamb."

Follow up questions allow for increased rigor. Students will also use these questions to help them make connections.
