This document outlines a WebQuest lesson for students in grades 1-6 about an Egyptian pharaoh, Tutankhamen. The mission is for students to infiltrate a masked ball hosted by a thief, Mr. Krim Inal, who has stolen Tutankhamen's funeral mask. To complete the mission, students must research Egyptian geography, history, and the life of Tutankhamen. The WebQuest guides students through assignments to learn about these topics through online resources in order to accomplish their mission of retrieving the stolen mask.

2. The Mission Attention All Agents: An urgent message from headquarters has just been received. The sneaky Mr. Krim Inal has infiltrated the local museum disguised as a mummy! He was carried inside the museum in a fake coffin and under the cover of darkness, has stolen the funeral mask of the great pharaoh Tutankhamen! The Egyptian Exhibit is scheduled to open in three weeks and the mask is the center piece for the show. Mr. Krim Inal has been sighted in Egypt with the mask and is planning on selling it to the highest bidder. He is hosting an exclusive masked ball at the pharaoh’s tomb to hide the sale of Tutankhamen’s mask. Your Mission, should you choose to accept it, is to research Egypt and Egyptian History. Once completed, you must infiltrate Mr. Krim Inal’s party by creating an Egyptian Mask of your own. Then retrieve the mask and bring it home. Good Luck! Go To Your Assignments

17. The Process (Teacher) [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page You can paste in the process description given to students in the “student” process slide and then interleave the additional details that a teacher might need. Describe briefly how the lesson is organized. Does it involve more than one class? Is it all taught in one period per day, or is it part of several periods? How many days or weeks will it take? Is it single disciplinary, interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary or what? If students are divided into groups, provide guidelines on how you might do that. If there are misconceptions or stumbling blocks that you anticipate, describe them here and suggest ways to get around them. What skills does a teacher need in order to pull this lesson off? Is it easy enough for a novice teacher? Does it require some experience with directing debates or role plays, for example? If you're designing for a one-computer classroom or for pre-readers and are creating a facilitated WebQuest in which the teacher or an aide controls the computer and guides discussion, you can link from here to the Teacher Script page which would contain a printable script for the facilitator to follow. Variations If you can think of ways to vary the way the lesson might be carried out in different situations (lab vs. in-class, for example), describe them here. Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion
