Parent Guide > Egyptian Social Structure

by USHistory.org 2016

Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.

This week in class, we’re reading "Egyptian Social Structure" by USHistory.org.

In "Egyptian Social Structure," the social structure of ancient Egyptian civilization is explored: from the gods and the godlike pharaoh on top to peasants and slaves on the bottom. 

As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Identity and Justice, Freedom & Equality as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :

"What is fair?" and "Can you change your identity?"

Ways to support your child:

  • Ask your child about this informational text at home:
    • What was "Egyptian Social Structure" about?
    • What did you learn about Identity?
    • What did you learn about Justice, Freedom & Equality?
  • Watch Nefertiti: Fast Facts at home with your child.
