The Great Pyramids & Sphinx Reading Stations - AP Art History

Great Pyramids & Great Sphinx Reading Stations - AP Art History - Google Drive - Print & Digital - Answer Key w/ Rubric

Reading stations are a great way to mix up lessons and get students to move! If you are looking for an engaging lesson that is not PowerPoint, this lesson has got you covered. As a bonus, this activity includes a practice contextualization writing prompt at the end (because students can never get enough practice). This 11-station reading activity covers key content for the AP Art History Course and Exam Description (CED).

Students can complete this activity individually or in groups. I like to divide students into groups, each receiving a copy of the documents to read.
