OUR PAPER DOLL PROJECT

ANCIENT EGYPTIAN FASHION

The aim of this project was for students to improve their vocabulary and to learn many new words related to Ancient Egyptian Fashion.

This is what we did:

• We traced the drawing of the character and transferred it onto drawing paper.

• We designed the appropriate garments and accessories for our character.

• We labeled the garments and the accessories with the suitable word in English.
