You will be assesed by me and by your partners according to the rubric below. It is not necessary to print it, I will provide you with them.
I would like you to have a look at it in order to know how you are going to be assessed and what requirements you have to follow.
Steps to follow:
- Form groups of 4 to 5 people, depending on the number of people of your classroom. Make sure everyone is going to collaborate and work equally since you all are going to receive the same mark at the end.
- Search for information. Look for numbers that are significant to explain any possible features of Rome: demography (population), roads, buildings, traditions, food, sewer length, religion, gods, jobs, economy... whatever you think can be interesing to explain.
- Group those numbers researched in areas or sectors that can be explained together. Example: numbers of Demography could include: population of the whole Roman Empire (it could be also expressed in several different dates like at the end of the Republica and then at the end of the Empire..); population of Rome, number of patricians, number of slaves, number of senators... and so on.
- Start the design of the Power Point Poster as a draft and work on it until you are completely satisfied with the result of your design.
- Revise the information and design all together until everyone agrees with the final result.
- Prepare your speech for your short presentation. You can choose a representative as a speaker to do this.
