The first site to be discussed this month is titled A
Woman Called Egypt. The site is actually a printable play
designed to aid people in learning about the early life of
Cleopatra VII. It is a very novel and fun way to learn about
Cleopatra. Included in the site are also pictures that you can
print and have your children color. There is also ample background
and character information on the site to further aid in learning
about Cleopatra and the time period in which she lived. The site
itself is well done. It is organized, easy to navigate, and the
combination background and print colors make it easy to read. This
site offers a great new way to learn about Cleopatra.
Next are pages about Cleopatra from a site called Ancient
Egypt. The entire site is very good, but today I will
concentrate on the Cleopatra pages. The Cleopatra pages are very
well done. They are informative, yet concise and easy to read. One
thing I especially like is the tour of Cleopatra’s house. It is
actually like a floor plan, but it is "clickable", so
you can click on a room and information on that room will come up.
It is a very interesting approach to learning about Cleopatra. The
site is well organized and colorful.
If you are looking for some concise information on Cleopatra, a
nice site is called Cleopatra,
Daughter of the Pharaoh. This site offers information on her
family, her reign, her relationships with Julius Caesar and Marc
Antony, and her death. The site also offers a recommended reading
list with links to purchase the books on-line, and a few links to
other sites offering information on Cleopatra. The page is
somewhat plain as it doesn’t have any graphics or pictures, but
has a nice background and dark, easy to read print.
