Here’s how Ancient Egypt and papyrus can be connected to the relevant Common Core standards:

English Language Arts (ELA) Standards
Reading Informational Texts (RI)

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.4.1: Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.
Example: Students read about Ancient Egypt and use specific details to explain aspects of its civilization.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.6.2: Determine a central idea of a text and how it is conveyed through particular details; provide a summary of the text distinct from personal opinions or judgments.
Example: Summarize a text about the significance of papyrus in ancient Egyptian society.
Reading Literature (RL)

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.5.6: Describe how a narrator’s or speaker’s point of view influences how events are described.
Example: Reading historical fiction set in Ancient Egypt to analyze how the narrative perspective shapes the story.
Writing (W)

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.4.2: Write informative/explanatory texts to examine a topic and convey ideas and information clearly.
Example: Write an essay on how papyrus was made and used in Ancient Egypt.

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.6.7: Conduct short research projects to answer a question, drawing on several sources and refocusing the inquiry when appropriate.
Example: Research project on the daily life of ancient Egyptians and the role of papyrus.
Speaking and Listening (SL)

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.4.4: Report on a topic or text, tell a story, or recount an experience with appropriate facts and relevant, descriptive details, speaking clearly at an understandable pace.

Literacy in History/Social Studies Standards (Grades 6-12)
Key Ideas and Details

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RH.6-8.1: Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of primary and secondary sources.
Example: Analyze primary source documents from Ancient Egypt, such as excerpts from the Book of the Dead.

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RH.6-8.2: Determine the central ideas or information of a primary or secondary source; provide an accurate summary of the source distinct from prior knowledge or opinions.
Example: Summarize a historical text about the construction of the pyramids.
Craft and Structure

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RH.9-10.4: Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including vocabulary describing political, social, or economic aspects of history/social science.
Example: Understand and explain terms related to Ancient Egyptian governance and society.
Integration of Knowledge and Ideas

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RH.11-12.7: Integrate and evaluate multiple sources of information presented in diverse formats and media (e.g., visually, quantitatively, as well as in words) to address a question or solve a problem.
Example: Use archaeological findings, historical texts, and modern interpretations to explore the role of pharaohs in Ancient Egypt.

By incorporating Ancient Egypt and papyrus into lessons, teachers can meet these broader Common Core standards while engaging students with rich historical content. These standards provide a framework that supports the integration of diverse topics and materials into the curriculum.
