Summary:
Black and white illustrations accompany this nonfiction account, a process of building an Egyptian pyramid. Some teachers may want to use this as a reference; some students may love poring over the details. The book ends with a glossary.
Teaching Ideas:
Students may want to study the text separate from the illustrations, then the illustrations, and then put the two together in order to see how well they complement each other. Teachers may use this in a unit on Egypt, on tools, or on architecture (in connection with Macaulay's Cathedral, Castle, or with Morris' Houses and Homes). Students may want to write journal entries about other customs that deal with death and dying. David Macaulay: www.viewz.com/interview/dmacaulay/dmacaulay.shtml
