  1. The Golden Goblet A multi-genre project exploring the adventures of young boy in Ancient Egypt. By Tammy Stoy July 23, 2010

  2. ResearchProcess I have taken the Newberry Honor book, The Golden Goblet, and summarized the story. I want my artifacts to highlight different aspects of the story (setting, plot, characters, etc.) I plan to use this as a presentation to students as a review after they have read The Golden Goblet. The strength of this presentation is that my students will have a creative review prior to an assessment. They will also have a living example of a multi-genre project. In order to complete this project, I needed to research a map of Ancient Egypt, review the book, and research websites that dealt with Ancient Egypt or the Golden Goblet. This research enhanced my background knowledge and gave me ideas for my artifacts.

  3. Scoring Checklist

  4. Strengths of a multi-genre project • Students with creative, artistic, and visual strengths will be encouraged to use those strengths to show case what they know. • Students without creative strengths will be forced to grow. • In order to do a project like this, you must know your subject. • Students are forced to look at their subjects many different vantage points.

  5. Drawbacks of a Multi-Genre Project • This can be time consuming for teachers and students who need to work through the curriculum at a certain pace. • Students may not learn the skills required for a traditional research paper. • Non-creative students may become frustrated. • Multi-genre projects can be difficult to grade.

  6. 6 Artifacts Following are six artifacts depicting different elements of the story, The Golden Goblet, by Eloise Jarvis McGraw. These are the pages that I will share with my history and literature home-school students in the Fall after they have read the book.

  7. Ancient Egypt Ranofer’s Homeland

  8. Newspaper Clipping From the Theban Times Unidentified sources have reported to the Times that gold is missing from Rekh’s Gold Shop. The Authorities have not been contacted, but our source is trying to solve this mystery himself. All suspects are being carefully watched. There are also reports of increased tomb raiding. It is unclear whether these two incidents are related. Please contact the paper with any information you may have regarding the missing gold.

  9. Ranofer’s Journal I hate that evil Gebu! May Ra repay him for how he treats me! I wish my father was still alive and my life could be normal again. Instead, I have this slave-driving brother who beats me and I am stuck working as a porter - in a goldsmith shop! A porter - not an apprentice!!!!! I get to watch people doing what I would love to learn how to do! Now, gold is missing from the shop and I think I know who took it. What should I do?

  10. Wanted Poster Wanted! Person or persons involved with gold theft! Nice reward offered by the Queen for any possible leads!

  11. Skit of an overheard conversation Person #1: I can’t believe Ibni, the Babylonian, got fired from the gold shop! Person #2: Yeah - but at least we have the tombs. Person #1: You’re right there! The tombs are an endless supply of wealth! Person #2: We just gotta make sure no one is following us! Person #1: No, we’re safe! Stop being so paranoid! Person #2: O.K. Did you hide the golden goblet? Person #1: Yep - it’s in my room! But we need to sell that Golden Goblet, I don’t want my stupid kid brother stumbling across it! I am glad I got him working at the stone cutter’s shop where I can keep my eye on him! Person #2: Hey! What was that noise?

  12. Book Report on The Golden Goblet This book is about an ancient Egyptian boy named Ranofer. After the death of his parents Ranofer is sent to live with his evil half brother, Gebu. Gebu mistreats Ranofer. Ranofer begins to work as a porter in the goldsmith shop. His desire is to be a master goldsmith but he cannot afford the apprentice fee. Ranofer learns that gold is being stolen from the shop. After trying to prevent this, Ranofer is beaten by Gebu and is forced to work in the stone cutting shop where is brother is an apprentice. Through a series of events, he finds a golden goblet in Gebu’s room and realizes that his brother is a tomb raider. He follows his brother and traps him in the tomb. Ranofer is able to get an audience with the queen and inform her of the tomb raiding. Gebu is caught and Ranofer is able to be a goldsmith apprentice.

  14. Endnotes 1. The Map of Ancient Egypt shows the general setting of the novel. It also shows Thebes, the city where the novel takes place. This is important so that others have a sense of where the story took place. 2. The “Newspaper clipping from The Theban Times” imagines how a journalist would have sensationalized the robberies. It also provides information on both the goldsmith robberies and the tomb raiding. The purpose is to leave one with a sense of suspense since no one knows who is robbing the gold. 3. The “Excerpt from Ranofer’s Journal” shows you the inner feelings of the main character as he pours his heart out in his journal. It also gives a glimpse into his life and how Gebu, his brother, treats him. The purpose of the journal entry is to empathize with Ranofer.

  15. Endnotes continued 4. The “Wanted Poster” is a creative way to show how seriously the Queen would take grave robbing. This is the place where her ancestors are buried. I tried to get a graphic of a Wild West Wanted poster, but my limited capabilities kept me frm being able to write on the images I attempted to retrieve. 5. The “Skit of an Overheard Conversation” takes a look at the tomb raiders. It allows us see their motives and personalities. The purpose of this skit is to show the greed and determination of Gebu (person #1). It also shows his arrogance, since he is so confident that they are not being followed. 6. The Book Report actually provides a summary of the story. Since I will show parts of this presentation to a class as summary of the book, it gives the students an opportunity to get the picture of the story. Please note that the artifacts are presented in the chronological order of the story.
