The Pack contains associated resources for the learning experience, typically in the form of articles and videos. There is a teacher Pack (with only teacher information) and a student Pack (which contains only student information). As a teacher, you can toggle between both to see everything.
Here are the teacher pack items for Roman Republic Figures:
Overview In this experience, students work in small groups to identify and describe five major figures of the Roman Republic: Julius Caesar, Spartacus, Cicero, Cincinnatus, and the Gracchi brothers. Then, they evaluate Julius Caesar’s impact on history and give reasons for their opinions. Finally, they learn about Cincinnatus and make comparisons between him and George Washington. Students will work together in small groups in scene 2. Objective
The names of important Romans such as Spartacus, Brutus, and Julius Caesar are remembered today not only for those people’s actions, but for the qualities of character that those people represent. In this experience, you’ll learn about the characters as well as their actions.
Objective
The Death of Spartacus
Which people who are alive today might be remembered 2,000 years from now? Write their names.
Spend a minute or two sharing students’ responses and very briefly identifying the contemporary people they named. Ask students to explain why they might be remembered. Tell them that the important Roman figures discussed in this experience are very likely more important than those people are.
