The geography of the Nile
Choose a template. Read the guidance about the river Nile and then fill in the template with what you know.
Discussion points
- Why was it more beneficial for the people of Upper and Lower Egypt to be unified?
- Do you think there were any negative aspects to living so close to the river Nile?
Teaching tips:
Why not begin the lesson by looking at the famous River Nile on an interactive map to see just how huge it really is? For more geographical information on the Nile, look at 'Ancient Egypt jigsaw - Land'.
To demonstrate that tombs were built on the west bank, look at Locations of Old Kingdom monuments in Lower Egypt' and 'Locations of New Kingdom monuments in Luxor'.
