LESSON TWO

Warmer:

We they are going to discover many more ancient civilizations. So, what have you learned about ancient civilizations from your friends and relatives? We will write on the board the answers. Now,  which civilization do you think was the oldest? which civilization was the largest? which civilization had more famous leaders? Let's compare them!

Now, we are going to learn about the life of people in two different civilizations and we are going to compare them, as historians do.

Web:

In the computer room, We will watch the following video: Romans vs. Egyptians: Who Had the Better Daily Life? We have  to watch the video and try answer the question posed in the video: "Who had the better daily life?"

After watching the video, try to give reasons for our answer to the question. We will write the answers on the computer room's blackboard and add the following sentences from the video: 

The Egyptian life was more stable than the Roman life.

Egyptian life was harder than Roman life.

Egyptian entertainment was less terrifying than Roman entertainment.

Egyptian family life was more modern thatn Roman family life.

Let's see if we can find a pattern in the way these sentences compare Egyptian and Roman cultures. 

Now, let's see what the teacher has to say about the pattern that appears in all those sentences.

What's Next:

Back in the classroom, let's try to remember what we learned from the lives of people in ancient Egypt and Rome and compare them with our lives in the modern world, Then, we will write our comparisons on the board.

(The teacher may help students to provide with the necessary vocabulary or reinforce students' production with the desired comparative structures )
