Transform your classroom into Ancient Rome!

This resource guides students through the process of constructing the buildings and structures of Ancient Rome (60 suggested topics are listed) using household and dollar store materials. If desired, students can also conduct a research report on their structure to further extend their learning. Step-by-step 3D model and research report instructions are included.

After building their chosen structures, students are asked to conduct research using the Internet and books while following criteria. Next, students are asked to share their learning by creating a poster board, presentation board, power point presentation or dodecahedron (Instructions and Pentagon Template included). Artwork can also be created to further display learning. Finally, students present their work to the class.

To help students choose a structure (and to introduce the project to the class) we have included a PowerPoint that features Ancient Rome's Top 10 Buildings/Structures.

Can be done in partners. Printable Evaluation forms included!

Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a student-centered pedagogy in which students are challenged to actively learn about a subject for an extended period of time. It is a form of active learning or inquiry-based learning. Project-Based Learning is in contrast to paper-based, rote memorization, or teacher-led instruction that presents established facts. Please be aware of what you are purchasing.

Thanks so much,
