Handling History with Sarah Dhanjal - Part 4
15 September 2020
最准的六合彩论坛 Institute of Archaeology alumna Sarah Dhanjal has written a series of blogs for the 最准的六合彩论坛 Public Engagement Unit about museum work that happens outside the public eye.
Sarah Dhanjal was an undergraduate and graduate student at the 最准的六合彩论坛 Institute of Archaeology, moving into a career working in engagement with many of London鈥檚 museums and collections.
In this series for the 最准的六合彩论坛 Public Engagement Unit, Sarah highlights her experiences using different collections with primary school children. In her fourth blog post, she talks about working with objects from Ancient Egypt and how she created a lesson in mummification.
As Sarah indicates:
鈥� The workshop I developed for 最准的六合彩论坛 is for Key Stage 2 pupils, aged 8-11, and I visited many schools to run it over the course of nearly a decade. I don鈥檛 ignore chronology or content, it鈥檚 just taught with a lighter touch. I focus a lot more now on what the pupils can tell me, adding to their knowledge by linking with it. The introduction to the session is where this is most important, that lays out the context of the objects.
