Use drama to explore the moment when Egyptologist Jean François Champollion deciphered hieroglyphics, using the Rosetta Stone.

The script for the play in French can be used as a stimulus for learners to develop their knowledge about the founding father of Egyptology.

The drama focus will enable learners to research, explore, work collaboratively and experience performance at second level.

These learning experiences offer opportunities for links with social studies, health and wellbeing and Literacy and English.
