Introduction (10-15 minutes)

1. Content review: The teacher should review the basic concepts of art and history that the students have previously studied. It is important to highlight the meaning and importance of art as a form of cultural and social expression, and how it can reflect the worldview of a given society.

2. Problem situations: The teacher can propose two hypothetical situations for the students:

   • Imagine that you are an archaeologist who has discovered an ancient tomb in Egypt. Upon entering the tomb, you are faced with walls covered in paintings and hieroglyphs. How do you think these images can help you understand the life and society of the ancient Egyptians?
   • Suppose you are a contemporary artist and have been challenged to create a work of art inspired by Egyptian art. What elements and characteristics would you use in your work and why?

3. Contextualization: The teacher should explain the importance of Egyptian art, not only as a form of artistic expression, but also as a means of communication and historical record. It should be emphasized that Egyptian art was strongly influenced by its religious beliefs and the social structure of the time.

4. Getting the students' attention: The teacher can share curiosities about Egyptian art to spark the students' interest. For example:

   • Did you know that Egyptian art was highly standardized and symmetrical, as it was believed that order and stability were fundamental to maintaining the balance of the universe?
   • And that the ancient Egyptians used hieroglyphics, a writing system made up of drawings and symbols, to record not only historical events, but also to convey complex ideas and mythological stories?

At the end of the Introduction, students should have a basic understanding of the topic and be motivated to learn more about the art of Ancient Egypt.

Development (20-25 minutes)

1. Activity 1 - "Egyptian Mural" (10-12 minutes)

   • The teacher should divide the class into small groups and provide each group with a large sheet of paper, colored pencils, and markers.
   • The task is for each group to create their own "Egyptian mural", inspired by the art of Ancient Egypt. They can use the internet or books as reference to identify the elements and typical characteristics of Egyptian art, such as symmetry, the use of bright colors, hieroglyphs, among others.
   • In addition, the teacher can provide students with a list of common themes in Egyptian art, such as scenes from everyday life, divine figures, mummification processes, among others, and ask them to choose one to represent in their mural.
   • At the end of the activity, each group should present their mural to the class, explaining the choices they made and what they learned about Egyptian art.

2. Activity 2 - "Deciphering Hieroglyphs" (10-12 minutes)

   • Still in groups, students will receive a sheet with some examples of Egyptian hieroglyphs and their corresponding meanings.
   • The challenge is for students to create their own sentences or short texts using the hieroglyphs. They can choose a theme, such as everyday life, religion, architecture, among others, to inspire their creations.
   • After creating them, the students should exchange their sentences or texts with other groups and try to decipher them, using the list of hieroglyphs and their meanings.
   • The purpose of this activity is not only to familiarize students with the Egyptian writing system, but also to encourage them to think about how art can be used as a form of communication.

3. Activity 3 - "Building a Pyramid" (10-15 minutes)

   • In this activity, students will be challenged to build a miniature Egyptian pyramid using only paper and glue.
   • The teacher can provide students with a pyramid template to make construction easier. However, students should be encouraged to customize their pyramids by adding elements of Egyptian art, such as hieroglyphics, paintings, and sculptures.
   • During the activity, the teacher should circulate around the room, providing guidance and feedback to the groups, and encouraging discussions on Egyptian architecture and art.
   • At the end of the class, students should have a deeper understanding of the art of Ancient Egypt and will have produced their own works of art inspired by that period. In addition, they will have developed teamwork skills, problem solving and creative thinking.

These fun and hands-on activities will allow students to explore the theme of Egyptian art in a deeper and more meaningful way, applying the knowledge acquired and developing important skills.

Feedback (10-12 minutes)

1. Group Discussion (3-4 minutes)

   • The teacher should bring all the students together and open a group discussion. Each group will have up to 3 minutes to share their conclusions and reflections from the activities carried out.
   • During the presentations, the teacher should encourage students to explain how they applied the characteristics of Egyptian art in their works and how they interpreted and expressed ideas through the hieroglyphs.
   • The teacher can also ask questions to stimulate discussion and student reflection. For example, "How do you think Egyptian art influenced the architecture of the pyramids?" or "What have you learned about the culture and society of Ancient Egypt through these activities?"

2. Connection with Theory (3-4 minutes)

   • After the presentations, the teacher should review the main characteristics of Egyptian art, connecting them with the activities carried out by the students.
   • For example, the teacher could highlight how symmetry, the use of bright colors and hieroglyphics were represented in the students' works.
   • In addition, the teacher can reinforce the importance of Egyptian art as a means of communication and historical record, and how the students were able to express ideas and represent scenes from everyday life and Egyptian religion through their works and hieroglyphic sentences.

3. Individual Reflection (2-3 minutes)

   • The teacher should propose a moment of individual reflection. Students will have one minute to think about the following questions:
     1. What was the most important concept learned today?
     2. What questions have not yet been answered?
   • After the minute of reflection, the teacher can ask some students to share their answers, promoting an exchange of ideas and encouraging curiosity and questioning.

4. Teacher Feedback (1 minute)

   • Finally, the teacher should provide feedback to the students, praising their efforts and highlighting the main learnings of the day.
   • The teacher can also take this moment to clarify any questions that may still exist and to encourage students to continue exploring the topic at home, through further research or artistic activities.

Feedback is a crucial step in the lesson plan as it allows students to consolidate what they have learned, connect theory with practice, and reflect on the learning process. In addition, it gives the teacher the opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of the class and to make adjustments, if necessary, for future classes.
