Comparing Social Classes in Egypt

The Nobleman and the Farmer

All civilizations have different social classes - some have wider gaps between rich and poor than others, but all have classes. Ancient Mesopotamia is the first time and place we see society broken into classes of people (most often based on wealth). Egypt is no different.

Your task today is to cooperatively (working together) compare and contrast the social classes of FARMER and NOBLEMAN in ancient Egypt. Here's the catch - you and your partner may not verbally communicate. You may not even sit near each other. All communication must be done on your chromebooks. Click each of the classes above to get the info doc.

Access your comparison chart here - one of you must make a copy and share with your partner. This needs to be put in your SS folder. 

Good luck.
