Project: Roman cities

Level: 3^rd course of Primary Education

This project is closely related to Unit 7 in which we have learnt about modern cities and how they are distributed (modern district, historical centre and suburbs) and so, we can compare the differences between the buildings and streets in roman times and nowadays (size, shape, materials…).

First of all, we are going to watch next video in which it is said how the roman empire was founded and there is a brief explanation about roman cities.

After watching the video, I will divide the class in groups of four or five. Along two weeks, we are going to elaborate different roman cities with recycled materials such as, tetrapacks, empty bottles, containers, tins, cardboards, papers…

To do that, I have prepared a Powerpoint for the children as a guide to remember the different buildings that they have to built in their cities.

At the end, they will have to name their city and make a brief explanation about it to the rest of the class.
