Essential Learnings (What do you want the students to learn about your culture?) 
The goal of this lesson is to teach them about the stereotypes of Egypt and the truths about them. Students, 
when thinking of Egypt, typically think of Cleopatra and the pyramids, but there is a lot of history that is 
important during WWII and their colonization. In our lesson we show a clip from our movie that portrays how 
discriminated women are in Egypt. We want the students to learn more deeply about Egypt’s culture rather 
than just scratching the surface.
