Ancient Rome for Teachers Activities and Projects

These are free activity and project ideas for kids and teachers to use in your unit study of ancient rome. these activities can be adjusted for any grade. we hope you'll find some ideas you can use..

Rome as a Republic (SPQR):  Can you save the Roman Republic?  (Roman Reforms, Donn)

Struggle for Power under the Republic: Patricians vs. Plebeians, classroom simulation, Experiencing a Struggle for Power

Julius Caesar: Gossip at the Forum (classroom play, 1-2 class periods, Donn)   See Pantomime/Theatre for how to behave at the theatre in ancient Rome (Donn)

Roman Legionary - Drill! You might want them to learn about the Roman Legion before this activity here .  Move into Groups: Make Shields and Daggers out of cardboard and construction paper - one shield, one dagger for each students, groups help each other and have a similarity in equipment, just as the ancient Romans would have. Then: March around the school in Turtle Formation. Sneak by open doors of other classrooms in groups of "turtles". (Get permission from the office first, of course.) The kids love this one. There is nothing so eye catching or so noisy as an entire classroom of 6th graders shuffling down the hall in formation without speaking a word to attract attention.

Milestone Advertising: Hand your kids the following Assignment: The Romans did a wonderful job building roads! To help people find their way, while traveling these roads, the Romans more or less invented the milestone which grew increasingly wordy, and increasingly tall, to be easily readable from a vehicle. Some are 6 feet tall. Each milestone usually gave the mileage to the nearest large city, sometimes to an intermediate place as well; and the date and perhaps who paid for the road. We're going to add business advertising! Your job is to create a business ad to add to a milestone, somewhat like billboard advertising. What would you say, to advertise your company's service or product, if you had limited advertising space on one of these ancient Roman milestones? To accomplish your job, first you must create a service or product of interest for ancient Rome, and then create an ad to advertise it. From your ad, it should be easy to figure out what service or product your company offers citizens of Rome. Remember, your ad must be very brief and to the point as you only have limited space! We used our formation skills to and from the computer lab, and one day, simply because it was that kind of day, up and down hallways.

Weigh the Evidence: Rome - Working in small groups, Research: Have students examine a series of sources to determine if Rome left the world with a positive legacy. Have students include a rating on how believable and useful each source is before making their final conclusions. List sources used to make their determination.

The Ancients Walk Amongst Us: Bring in newspapers, magazines, and old phone books. Have scissors and glue handy. Working in groups, have the kids find examples of Roman Gods and Roman Times in advertising and news articles. For example: The Venus Beauty Salon, The Mercury Cafe. Have the kids cut out the examples they find. Have each group arrange their "finds" on a large piece of construction paper or cardboard, and then post on a bulletin board or a wall. 

The Roman Gazetteer . This is certainly not a new idea, but it's always fun. Have your kids create a newspaper for ancient Rome. Put all the pieces together and print copies so that each student has one completed copy. It's great review or introduction to ancient Rome, and a nice piece for students to take home and share with parents. Editorials, Classified, Sports & Entertainment, etc. Preparation:

Take several 8½″ × 11″ pieces of paper, and plan how much room each section of your newspaper will take. (Space is limited!) Hand each student, based on the section they select, a pre-cut piece of paper. As reporters, they must accomplish their job within assigned space limits. This makes putting your newspaper together much easier! For unassigned space, or space left empty from students who do not complete this assignment, simply run an ad - this space available for advertising. Call.... And/or offer empty space as an extra credit project to interested students. As students tend to lose things, and need several copies of blank pieces of paper, have extras blanks available, based on sizing. To stay organized, number the back of various sizes with Roman Numerals. That way, you can have a blank paper stack for each size.

Under each heading, include a short paragraph of background information.

Make a sign-up sheet, that covers all newspaper headings, and post it in your classroom. Have the kids sign-up as reporters under the section they choose. For organizational purposes, note the Roman Numeral "size" next to each section. For example, the cartoon section might be called: Forum Funnies. Example: Consul Claudius sneezed today. At least he accomplished SOMETHING! The gossip section might be called "Rome Wonders"; example: New man about town! Gladiator Claudius gains freedom today! Will he replace Nero as ladies man #1? Keep your eye on this column for updates!

Roman Emperors: Which emperor would you choose to be your leader?

History Mystery: Cold Case Caesar  - Students investigate the assassination of Julius Caesar by weighing 8 different pieces of evidence. Visually stimulating, highly engaging and perfect for Common Core.

A Day in Rome  - A scripted lab where students are taken back in time to experience a day in Rome.[ Teacher Script ] [ Student Worksheet ]

New Teachers: Easy desk arrangements for the classroom - I move my desks around all the time, depending upon the activites I'm doing that day. It took me forever to realize I can have the kids move their desks, after I mark the spots with masking tape. You don't want to have the kids moving desks into formations all the time, but occassionally it's a smart thing to do. Tell them you need their help prior to movement. That's trust. They will want to help you.

In ancient Rome, like many of the ancient cultures, religion affected every aspect of their daily life. But so did politics. Under the Republic, they loved to hear the great orators down in the Forum, the central marketplace, while they did their shopping and visited a temple or two. It was a great place to meet friends and catch up on all the gossip.

Roman Empire

Our Roman Empire lesson plan explores the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, including the most common historical events and significant contributions of its people.

Included with this lesson are some adjustments or additions that you can make if you’d like, found in the “Options for Lesson” section of the Classroom Procedure page. One of the optional additions to this lesson is to plan a “Roman Empire Week”, with each day focused on a different aspect of Ancient Rome and the Roman Empire.

Description

Additional information, what our roman empire lesson plan includes.

Lesson Objectives and Overview: Roman Empire lesson plan explores the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, including the most common historical events and significant contributions of its people. At the end of the lesson, students will be able to describe and identify the Roman Empire, and its events and people during its period in history. This lesson is for students in 4th grade, 5th grade, and 6th grade.

Classroom Procedure

Every lesson plan provides you with a classroom procedure page that outlines a step-by-step guide to follow. You do not have to follow the guide exactly. The guide helps you organize the lesson and details when to hand out worksheets. It also lists information in the orange box that you might find useful. You will find the lesson objectives, state standards, and number of class sessions the lesson should take to complete in this area. In addition, it describes the supplies you will need as well as what and how you need to prepare beforehand.

Options for Lesson

Included with this lesson is an “Options for Lesson” section that lists a number of suggestions for activities to add to the lesson or substitutions for the ones already in the lesson. One optional adjustment to the lesson is to u se the homework assignment as a class activity and group students in 3s or 4s to discuss the implications if a similar problem occurred today. You can plan a “Roman Empire Week”, with each day focused on a different aspect of Ancient Rome and the Roman Empire. You could also assign each student a different aspect of the empire to research and report to the class, like emperors, Roman Mythology, The Colosseum, Rome, Pompeii, daily life, and more. Finally, you could organize a class period for students to play games like the Roman children.

Teacher Notes

The teacher notes page includes a paragraph with additional guidelines and things to think about as you begin to plan your lesson. This page also includes lines that you can use to add your own notes as you’re preparing for this lesson.

ROMAN EMPIRE LESSON PLAN CONTENT PAGES

What is an empire.

The Roman Empire lesson plan includes four pages. If the countries of the United States, Canada, Mexico, and more came together and a single person ruled over them all, it would be an example of a modern-day empire. We don’t have any empires today, but there have been several major empires throughout history.

Empires are groups of nations and/or people ruled by an emperor, empress, or a powerful government, who the people saw as a supreme authority. Today, some people disagree about whether or not we still have empires, though we all agree that there are no empires like the ones that used to exist. The Roman Empire was a particularly important and powerful civilization which included Ancient Rome and most of Europe.

The Roman Empire

More than 2,000 years ago, the city of Rome was the largest city in the world. It was also the heart of the Roman Empire, which included territories from Europe to Asia to Africa. The Roman Empire lasted for about 1,500 years, from 27 BC to 1453 AD. Ancient Rome’s culture spread throughout the territory and, today, we credit it with influencing many modern things, like our governments, engineering, architecture, language, literature, and more.

Caesar Augustus was the first emperor of the Roman Empire. There were many other emperors after him, like Nero, who was not concerned when the city burned to the ground; Vespasian, who built the Colosseum; Constantine I; Theodosius I; Basil II; and many more. Augustus became the first leader after the assassination of Julius Caesar. Augustus built a strong military, institutions, and lawmaking to help himself become a single ruler. He also laid the foundation for 200 years of peace.

Roman leaders had extensive power, overseeing the senate, setting rules and regulations, holding religious authority and conducting ceremonies, controlling the calendar, punishing and pardoning citizens, and vetoing senate decisions.

The empire grew over the years and became difficult to manage from Rome, so the leaders decided to split it into two empires. The Western empire ruled from Rome, while the Eastern ruled from Constantinople, which we now know as Turkey. The Eastern Roman Empire became known as the Byzantine Empire later on.

Roman Life: Jobs, Family, Food

Rome became famous for the amphitheaters, coliseums, and other places where they held gladiator fights, chariot races, performances, plays, athletic contests, and other events. We also know it for its art, architecture, and other innovations. Today, you might consider New York City a modern Rome. Life back then was very different, though some things have stayed the same.

Romans had many different jobs. In the countryside, farmers grew wheat, which they used to make bread. Poor people often joined the Roman Army in order to earn a regular wage. Merchants and craftspeople made, bought, and sold items in Europe. Craftsmen made dishes, pots, jewelry, weapons, and more. They also had entertainers, like musicians, dancers, actors, chariot racers, and gladiators. Educated Romans, on the other hand, often became lawyers, government workers, teachers, and engineers.

The Romans placed lots of importance on their families. They called the head of the family, the father, the paterfamilias. The father had most of the power, but wives also made some decisions and handled the household finances. Boys went to school while girls stayed home.

Romans began their day with a small breakfast. They ate most of their food at dinner, which started around 3:00. Their dinners were social events that lasted a long time. They ate bread, beans, fish, vegetables, cheese, and dried fruit rather than meat. Wealthy Romans would lie on their sides while servants fed them.

Roman Life: Clothing, School, Religion, and Leisure Time

Romans often wore togas, or long white robes made of wool or linen. Some togas had special colors that indicated the wearer’s status in society. they usually only wore them in public because they were uncomfortable to wear. Poor Romans wore tunics, which looks like an extra long t-shirt. Later on, tunics became popular with all Romans because of how comfortable they were.

Poor children didn’t go to school. Wealthier boys went to school starting at age seven, while tutors taught some girls at home. Schoolmasters, or tutors, were strict. They took education very seriously. Many of the subjects they had were similar to the subjects we have today. They used Roman numerals for math. They also learned weights and measurements, philosophy, and public speaking.

Religion played a big role in people’s everyday lives, though they did not visit temples or churches. Instead, they had small shrines in their homes dedicated to Roman gods and goddesses, who they believed lived on Mount Olympus.

After dinner, people did activities. They enjoyed music, art, dancing, reading, and sports. They  attended plays, the chariot races, and gladiator fights. Men and boys went to Roman baths to wash, sit, and talk. These baths also included gardens, gyms, libraries, and other recreational activities, like modern recreation centers.

The Fall of the Roman Empire

You’ve probably heard of the Fall of the Roman Empire. This refers mostly to the fall of the Western Roman Empire. The Roman Empire was the world’s biggest superpower for many years. We have several different theories and factors about why it ended.

Tribes defeated the Empire’s military and took control of some territories within the Roman Empire. The slave trade also began to decrease, and Roman society depended greatly on slave labor. The Empire also divided itself in half; this caused problems between the east and west as they fought over resources, territories, and military aid.

The military weakened because they did not have enough soldiers to support the growing Empire and protect its territories; new soldiers also did not care about Rome. Christianity grew in popularity and became the state religion in the late 300s; this lessened the god-like status of the Roman Empire. They also had frequent internal and political issues, leading to instability; this gave their enemies the ability to take over.

The city of Rome is the capital city of Italy today, and is located in the same place as the ancient city. Many original buildings from that time still exist today, like the Roman Colosseum and Forum. The Circus Maximus could hold 150,000 people in its time, and pieces of it still exist in Rome.

Ancient Rome and the Roman Empire had a lot of influence on our lives today, and historians consider it to be one of the most significant periods in history.

Here is a list of the vocabulary words students will learn in this lesson plan:

• Empire: Group of nations or territories ruled by one person or group
• Emperor: The male leader of an empire
• Empress: The female leader of an empire
• Roman Empire: Includes territories throughout Europe, Africa, and Asia
• Ceasar Augustus: The first emperor of the Roman Empire
• Julius Ceasar: Emperor assassinated prior to the Roman Empire
• Byzantine Empire: The name later given to the Eastern Roman Empire
• Paterfamilias: The name the father was called in a Roman family
• Toga: A long white robe made of wool or linen
• Tunic: A T-shirt-like shirt worn mostly by poor Romans
• Schoolmasters: Teachers were referred by this name in Roman schools
• Circus Maximus: A stadium for chariot races, which held 150,000 people

ROMAN EMPIRE LESSON PLAN WORKSHEETS

The Roman Empire lesson plan includes three worksheets: an activity worksheet, a practice worksheet, and a homework assignment. You can refer to the guide on the classroom procedure page to determine when to hand out each worksheet.

A DAY IN OUR LIFE ACTIVITY WORKSHEET

Students will work in pairs to complete the activity worksheet. Each pair will plan their day using the provided information about family life in the Roman Empire, including as many details as possible.

Students can also work alone to complete the worksheet.

MATCHING PRACTICE WORKSHEET

The practice worksheet asks students to match 15 terms with their definitions. They will also answer five questions about the lesson material.

ROMAN EMPIRE HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT

For the homework assignment, students will review each reason attributed to the fall of the Roman Empire and tell how that reason could cause problems for a modern city, state, or country.

Worksheet Answer Keys

This lesson plan includes answer keys for the practice worksheet and the homework assignment. If you choose to administer the lesson pages to your students via PDF, you will need to save a new file that omits these pages. Otherwise, you can simply print out the applicable pages and keep these as reference for yourself when grading assignments.

Air Force maintenance mishaps are rising. Can a worksheet fix it?

How is your personal stress? How much sleep did you get last night? Do you need to use hazardous materials or chemicals to complete your next task, and how is the lighting in the workspace?

Those are just some of the questions that Air Education and Training Command wants its aircraft maintainers to answer on a new worksheet it rolled out in February.

Air Force’s costliest accidents, maintainer injuries rose in 2023

Two people died and 10 aircraft were destroyed in aviation-related mishaps in fy23 as the air force’s most serious accidents hit a five-year high..

The two-page questionnaire is intended to help determine how safe an airman’s work environment — and their mental state — may be before starting any high-risk maintenance work, ranging from hoisting and towing an aircraft to checking landing gears or loading munitions.

Maintenance-related mishaps, including “preventable” accidents during engine checks and while towing aircraft, have cost AETC more than $50 million since September 2018 , the command said in February. But fiscal year 2023 saw an “alarming spike” in those accidents, prompting the training branch to look for new ways to enforce its safety precautions.

Overall, the Air Force recorded 75 major non-combat mishaps during FY23, including 21 that occurred during ground maintenance — nearly double the maintenance incidents of the previous year, according to Air Force Safety Center data obtained by Air Force Times . Figures were current as of April 1.

AETC recorded a total of 11 Class A and Class B mishaps in FY23, most of which occurred in flight. Three took place during ground maintenance, including two separate incidents in which F-35 jets sucked foreign objects into their engines , and one instance in which an F-16′s engine erupted in flames while being checked.

In comparison, AETC logged one Class A ground operations accident in FY22 and zero in FY21, Air Force safety data shows.

Contractor crushed by T-38 jet suffered broken ribs, spinal fractures

A t-38 talon training jet collapsed onto a contractor after he removed a pin from the aircraft's nose landing gear in february 2023..

Class A accidents involve a death or permanent total disability, destruction of a military aircraft, damages of more than $2.5 million, or a combination of those criteria. Class B mishaps cause between $600,000 and $2.5 million in damages, a permanent partial disability, inpatient hospitalization of three or more personnel.

While the Air Force said no one was directly injured in AETC’s worst maintenance mishaps, they can lead to serious injury.

For instance, in February 2023, a contractor working on an Air Combat Command-owned T-38A Talon at Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico, was crushed when the jet collapsed on him while he was lubricating the aircraft’s landing gear , leaving him with multiple broken bones. An Air Force investigation found the unnamed man had removed a safety pin that allowed the landing gear to retract without other precautions in place.

Ground mishaps within AETC “really clued us in to realize that we needed to foster a stronger risk-management and safety mindset in the maintenance community,” Col. Will Phillips, the command’s safety director, told Air Force Times.

How it works

AETC’s new questionnaire is similar to the checklist completed by fighter crews in preflight briefings to tally mission risks and will create “a more standardized, repeatable process” to measure factors that could contribute to an accident before starting a potentially dangerous task, Phillips said.

AETC maintainers “perform tasks that risk their own health and welfare, and they also risk aircraft damage when they have to do these tasks everyday, but their tasks are mission-essential,” Phillips said.

The command’s approximately 7,600 active duty and civilian maintainers will use the worksheet, which takes about 10 minutes to complete. It does not yet apply to contractors, though Phillips said that’s being considered.

The paperwork is to be completed by each person before starting a new task. If the same task is being performed throughout the day, like towing aircraft, it only needs to be completed once. However, if a factor changes that can increase risk, like weather, maintainers are required to complete a new worksheet.

The tool is also not intended to replace a departmental “knock-it-off” instruction intended to empower personnel from stopping a task they feel is too risky.

As of the end of march, the midpoint of fiscal 2023, the air force was less than halfway to its active duty recruiting goal..

“This process equips personnel and supervisors to objectively assess risk and alert leadership when task, human, and environmental factors may accumulate to create an unacceptable level of risk,” instructions accompanying the worksheet said.

Scores in each area — human, environmental and task risks — are separately tallied; the team lead should be briefed on each, with a focus on how to mitigate them. A “moderate” score in any area requires approval to proceed from a flight, section chief or expeditor; a “high” score requires the OK from a production superintendent.

“The concept is, once you have a team of people and they put together an understanding of what their aggregate risk is, if it rises to a certain level, then they elevate that to their supervisor and their supervisor can then look at say, ‘OK, can I swap a person? Can we push this to the day shift? Can we add another person to the crew that’s more experienced?’” Phillips said. “‘What are those measures I can take to buy down risk?’”

The worksheets can be thrown out at the end of a shift, but must be kept if a mishap occurs.

Phillips said some maintenance units are keeping the sheets anyway to “get a better finger on the pulse of the data at a more macro level.” The information can help units track trends, including where resources — or a lack of them — could be driving risk in an already stretched-thin maintainer community that has struggled to keep up with aging aircraft and a high operational tempo.

The sheet could also become a tool to help units connect struggling airmen with support services.

“Will this form encourage leaders to have a better understanding of what’s going on with their folks? The answer to that is we hope so,” Phillips said.

While some may feel the added paperwork amounts to micromanaging or even policing airmen, Phillips said that’s not the intent. But the command is conscious of that perspective as it seeks honest answers. That’s why AETC expects an initial question about alcohol consumption in the last 24 hours to change to something more generally related to health.

“We can meet them in the middle” by asking less specific questions, Phillips said, “and still achieve the baseline objective of a good assessment.”

The command expects to tweak the questionnaire as it receives feedback and will eventually release a new form.

It’s almost impossible to know how many potential accidents may be avoided. But thanks to the worksheet, Phillips said he hopes to hear from units about instances when maintainers flagged risks and stopped upcoming work as a result. AETC plans to share the results of its initiative with the other major commands.

“If it canceled a sortie, I would love to know about that so we can begin to understand,” Phillips said. “Maybe a point value needed to be adjusted. Maybe we need to include something else, or maybe we need to remove something from the form.”

“We’re trying to find that balance between risk and mission,” he said.
