Who has better roads?

WHO HAS BETTER ROADS?

The idea of this project is to compare the current ways of communication and transport with those used by the ancient Romans.

Students receive (or they can search on the Internet) maps of the current roads in Spain and of the ancient Roman roads.

They must compare both maps and think about the differences and similarities they find.

We can provide them with some questions to help them in the process:

Which cities do the roads connect?
Which roads are better distributed?
Which current roads coincide with the ancient Roman paths?
Which cities do you think were important during the Roman times? Why?

With the result of their investigation they can elaborate a presentation using PowerPoint, for example, or they can perform an oral presentation as well.

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 ...
