The Roman Empire Webquest
Social Studies, History, History: Ancient, Grade 6, 7, 8, Activities, Projects
Seeking an engaging method to teach your 6-8 graders about ancient history? The Roman Empire: Web Quest might be your solution. This resource is designed to immerse students in the grandeur of Rome. Far from the traditional lecture-based approach, this hands-on, Project-Based Learning (PBL) activity encourages collaborative group work, making the learning process enticing, challenging, and enjoyable. Instead of the standard reading and answering routine, which can often disengage students, The Roman Empire: Web Quest allows students to actively travel back to Ancient Rome. Here, they delve into investigations about life during that era. Collaborative groups select one of seven focus areas, conducting research, taking notes, and later sharing their findings with the class. A unique component involves students writing diary entries, imagining a day in the life of a Roman. This assignment not only adds depth to their understanding but can also double up as both a Social Studies and English grade for those teaching both subjects. The program is exhaustive, featuring a mini-history book, graphic organizers, pre-writing pages, and a grading rubric. It's a well-acknowledged fact that students often forget lessons post-examination. However, I am confident that this hands-on approach will leave an indelible mark, creating memories that linger even after they move on from your classroom. Experts in the field frequently advocate for project-based learning. They believe that PBL not only enhances learning competencies required for academic and life successes but also combats the prevailing sentiment among students that education can be monotonous. PBL ensures students are active and engaged learners. With current educational standards, like the Common Core, emphasizing real-world applications of knowledge, PBL stands out as an approach that fosters problem-solving. Furthermore, the collaborative nature of PBL activities aids character development, and it's observed that students tend to understand and retain content more effectively through PBL than traditional teaching methods. ⎈ THIS IS WHAT’S INCLUDED: ⎈ ⎈ Complete Lesson Plans ⎈ Mini Ancient Rome History Booklet with Questions, Answers and Web Links ⎈ Assignment Sheets for Students with or without Costumes/Disguises ⎈ Images with Roman Dress ⎈ Information on Grading ⎈ Grading Rubric for Web Quest ⎈ Grading Rubric for Diary Entry Can Also be Used for ELA Grade if Desired ⎈ Assignment for Diary Entry ⎈ Graphic Organizers ⎈ Pre-Writing Pages ⎈ Handouts with Questions for Each Group ⎈ Pages for Notes ⎈ Handouts with Comprehensive Lists of Web Links ⎈ Diary Covers and Pages ⎈ Common Core Standards I REMEMBERsitting in history class, as a student, and being bored out of my mind.

Zombie Government Simulation
Social Studies, Government, Grade 9, 10, 11, Activities, Projects
Zombie Government Teacher Simulation Guide Thanks for your support in getting this product! I worked hard to make it a flexible and fun adaptation of the activity I made for my classroom. Don’t hesitate to adapt the activity to best mesh with your classroom. The purpose of this activity is to demonstrate to students how difficult group decision making is, how tricky insurgent groups can be, and how community needs like food, water, education, and entertainment can quickly be neglected when safety concerns are major factors. Each day students will be in their small groups making decisions about their government. You, as the facilitator, act as a kind of game manager. Some groups will find making decisions very easy, others will struggle with basics such as who is in charge? As a general rule of thumb, I make announcements mid-class every day, like a newspaper of the simulation. I can use this opportunity to individualize the conditions within the various groups, or to make things harder on groups that are finding the task easy. See the following page for ideas I’ve used in the past. Here are some general ideas on “events” that could spring up in each QZ: -- Imposter! One of the group members is known to be working with the Fireflies, but it is unclear who (approach a student before class to let them know) -- Food crisis! Rations are short, and it is unclear how to feed the population -- Road blocks! The Fireflies have blocked roads in order to combat the curfew. Now trucks, tanks, and vehicles cannot move throughout the city -- Tainted water! The diseased fungus has entered the water supply! How will the group let their residents know, and provide a solution? -- Assassination! The group leader has been taken out by the Fireflies. How will the group respond? -- An Olive Branch! The Fireflies have proposed a peace treaty, so long as they can have an equal say in all government decisions. If the group has a leader, they will now have 1 Government leader, and 1 Firefly leader. If they have a 5 person council, they will now have a 10 person council (half Fireflies), etc. -- And anything else you can think of! The more creativity the more the game sticks with students. I sincerely hope the simulation is as fun for your students as it typically is for mine. With any questions on implementation, assessment , or anything else, don’t hesitate to reach out to me at tristanjbernhard@gmail.com . Thanks again!
