This is Your Life, 100 BC!
We're only in Module 6 and look at all you have learned culturally: Rome, Italy, Sicily, Gaul, roads, art and architecture, slaves, Spartacus, Aristotle, Roman education, gladiatorial ins and outs, clothing, dining, chariot racing, and Roman numerals! You've been busy! Have some fun with this assignment. Let your imagination roam (no pun intended! Well, maybe!). Click on the time machine to find links to additional sources to help with this project.
Choice 1:Write a 150-200 word story of you as a time traveler. We want a day in your life, a day in old Rome. What would you be doing, seeing, experiencing? Choose a character: be a slave or a ruler; be a shopkeeper or the most famous gladiator ever; be the soldier building the aqueduct or the teacher who has only a wax tablet with which to work. Tell us what your day would be like.
Choice 2: Imagine yourself a wealthy Roman with a major celebration upcoming and invite us to your party. Set the stage for us in a short paragraph, then find out how the Romans dated days, and be sure to give us the correct date on your self-designed invitation. Likewise, study Roman menus for special occasions, and design a meal as well as the menu for us to savor. As you make your plans for this party, determine who your guest of honor will be, where you will place him/her at the table, and describe for us the after-dinner entertainment you are arranging. Of course, we must know what you are going to wear! Describe it or design it for us, including your new shoes, your hair (men, what are you wearing on your head?), and any jewelry. You may use any format of your choosing to send this to us.
