World History in a Nutshell

The classroom is dimly lit and there's a projecter set up to a laptop.

"Good morning," says Daniel, beaming all around. "Today, we're going to be touching on Ancient Egypt. There's packets on your desks with information about mummies and health and --" His face clouded and he frowned slightly. "gods. You can look at all that in your leisure, but first, I'm going to talk to you a bit about my dig in Egypt this summer."

Daniel has a power point presentation and everything which would have been done had the mun not fallen asleep yesterday. It's mostly pictures of sand. And more sand. And yes, you guessed it, sand. Daniel's highly enthusiastic about it, however, as he babbles on quite happily for half the lecture.

"Okay, for the second half, I apologize to those of you who aren't used to computers and also to those who took Egyptian archaeology last year, as you'll have already played a couple of these games. There's a choice of three to play, so have fun and talk to me if you have any questions or need a hand."


Build a pyramid

Make a Mummy

Death in Sakkara


[[ooc: Huge apologies for this being so late up; work and calling schools got in the way this morning and I wasn't at all functional last night to get it up then like I was planning]]

Dean eyed Evie's fervent note-taking with immense relief. Somehow, he wasn't entirely sure his notebook page with "SAND!!!!" printed almost hysterically across it would do him much good come exams. At least now he was pretty sure he could get help from the cute Egyptologist-in-training who conveniently lived next-door.

Evie waved happily to Dean and held up a piece of notebook paper that said, Pyramids, yay!

He scrawled "YOU + LYRA + ME = STUDY GROUP?!" on a fresh page, holding it up surreptitiously, accompanied by a slightly panicked look.

Evie read it, gave him a cheerful look, and wrote back, Certainly! Yours and Lyra's room?

Dean nodded, giving Evie thumbs-up, then smiling and relaxing considerably.
