Objectives
It’s morning, and you’re a teenage boy in a big city. You go to school. Then, in the afternoon, you walk home to your family’s apartment in a multi-story building. Your mother is shopping at the grocery store; your father is at the barbershop getting a haircut. Later, your father will take you to the huge stadium a couple of miles away to see a sports event.
Are you in Miami? In New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, or Washington, D.C.? No, you’re in Rome and it’s the year 75 B.C.E.!Write one or more predictions about what you think life was like in ancient Rome.
Allow students to confirm or update their predictions as the experience progresses. You might want to refer to some of the predictions as discussion points when relevant.
