Students A, follow David's group. Students B, follow Susan's group.

STUDENT A
David's group is reading this text about Ancient Egypt in the museum guide
book. Read it quickly to find:
a. a very important river in Egypt
b. a great pharaoh
c. a famous museum
Five thousand years ago, Egypt was a rich
country because of the River Nile. Around the
river, the farmers grew crops and raised
animals. The Nile was also home to lots of fish,
birds and wild animals which people hunted
for food and sport. Travelling by land was
difficult in the hills and deserts of ancient
Egypt, so people travelled by boats.
The ancient Egyptian pharaohs built temples
and put up huge stone statues. Rameses II was
the pharaoh who ruled for sixty-seven years
and put up more statues of himself than any
other pharaoh.
The ancient Egyptians believed in life after
death. That's why they became very good at
mummification. Nowadays, with modern
technology, we can look inside mummies.
There are lots of them in the British Museum.

STUDENT B
Susan's group is reading this text about the Roman Empire in the museum
guide book. Read it quickly to find:
a. two languages
b. a great emperor
c. a type of gladiator
At the end of the first century AD the Roman
Empire covered most of Europe, North Africa
and parts of Asia. The Roman Emperors built
excellent roads which people used to trade and
communicate. There were two official
languages, Latin and Greek.
Emperor Hadrian travelled all over his empire
and studied all the cultures. He built an eighty-
mile-long wall in Britain to keep out the
'barbarians', the people who were not under
Roman rule. Hadrian was the first Roman
emperor who had a beard. He made beards
popular among the Romans.
Every important Roman town had an
amphitheatre where people watched gladiators
and wild animals fight to death. Professional
gladiators trained in special schools. The
murmillo gladiators wore bronze helmets which
protected the face and neck.

British Museum' - C. Whitaker, 2000;
