PROJECT: ANCIENT ROME IN FIGURES

This a new project about ancient Rome that I hope you will enjoy...
It has several objectives:
  • Revise ancient Rome history
  • Work in groups, coordinating and cooperating your  individual work with your coworkers
  • Learn to research and categorize information
  • Improve your oral skills by presenting the poster  and its information to the rest of the class
  • Learn about power point and the posibilities it offers to express your ideas

TASK: POWER POINT POSTER OF ROMAN MAIN OR INTERESTING FIGURES

he task consists in creating a Power Point poster in which you will reflect interesting information about Rome but using just numbers, and a short text (the shortest possible) to explain every number. 
Steps to follow:
  1. 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.
  2. 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. 
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Revise the information and design all together until everyone agrees with the final result.
  6. Prepare your speech for your short presentation. You can choose a representative as a speaker to do this.
