3 Introduction Welcome to Bilingual History This book has been compiled to help you integrate History into your classroom. It is enriched material in English to accompany Genial! Geschichte 2. We are sure the children will benefit from using this book, which will not only introduce them to some English terminology, but also anchor their knowledge of the subject they are learning at the same time in German. This book is designed to be flexible. Pages are topic-based and the basic information is highlighted in a square. Activities for the children follow, enabling them to immerse themselves in the subject matter. New vocabulary is provided at the bottom of each page. Furthermore, you can find a complete glossary at the end of the book. The activities can also be used in pair work as well as in open learning. We also hope that these activities will open up the myriad possibilities of using English in the History lesson. Artefacts can be drawn and labelled, children can compile their own word grids and crosswords for the class or for their friends. Discussions in English on various topics can be arranged in class as the basic information is now available in English. Children can make their own games, using information in the book, such as domino or memory. Even board games are now possible. Posters can be made and displayed. As English has become such an important language for Austria (inter-cultural learning now knows no bounds thanks to the computer and the internet) we hope we have been of service in offering you this book. We wish you lots of fun using it. Sandra Fierling Sheena Machotka Irene Schwarz _GenGesch2_Bilingual_AncientC.indd 1 Genial! Geschichte 2 Bilingual Ancient Cultures 1

4 The Story of Egypt The Egyptian Culture lasted for over 3,000 years and historians talk about three different kingdoms1: The Old Kingdom About 5000 years ago King Menes from Upper Egypt conquered2 Lower Egypt, built a city on the Nile called Memphis and became the first pharaoh. Here the first pyramid (the Step Pyramid) was built. The most famous pyramids are in Giza and you can even see them today. Later the Egyptian nobles chose a king of their own and for a long time there were two pharaohs one in the north and one in the south. This was the end of the Old Kingdom. The Middle Kingdom When a new family from Thebes finally brought the country together, this was called the Middle Kingdom which lasted for 250 years. This was the height3 of the Egyptian culture writing, art and engineering4 prospered5. The Middle Kingdom ended when the Hyksos conquered Lower Egypt. The Hyksos brought chariots6 with them and introduced the Egyptians to the WHEEL7!! The New Kingdom During this time Egypt had many kings and just one queen (Hatshepsut) and Egypt became a great fighting nation. Then Alexander the Great invaded8 Egypt and his general Ptolemy became pharaoh. The Ptolemy dynasty ruled Egypt for another 300 years and the last ruler was Queen Cleopatra. When the Romans invaded Egypt she killed herself and Egypt became part of the Roman Empire. Match the pictures below to the c orrect kingdoms! Draw lines from the words in the box below!

The Egyptians called the desert Dashre (the red land) and the fertile land near the Nile Keme (the black land because the soil2 was black). People moved to the Nile because they needed water to live.
