LESSON THREE
Warmer:
We are going to see two famous buildings in the interactive screen and we have to decide which one is better:
Now let's see which building is the most popular: raise your hand if you think that the first building is better because it is bigger than the second building. Then, raise your hand if you think that the second building is better because it is more beautiful than the first one. We will keep track of the votes and we will see which one is the winner. Then, we will learn about the civilizations that built those impressive structures!
Web:
In the computer room, we will watch these two videos: National Geographic's Ancient Rome 101 and Happy Learning English's Ancient Egypt. Then, we will complete a Wordwall activity in which we have to order the words to form sentences comparing characteristics of those two civilizations:
Then, back in the classroom, we will try to remember the characteristics in which Rome and Egypt were compared and we will write those on the board (age, size, wealth, famous buildings, language, religion).
What's next:
Now, we will get in small groups (no more than three or four members per group) and, as homework, we are going to explore and pick one of the websites or videos provided in the subject's virtual classroom (which tackles a specific ancient civilization). Then, based on the information we find in the website/video, we are going to make a digital poster like the ones we saw in the previous activities (using any tool or app you feel comfortable with, like Canva) summarizing the key information and facts about that civilization and we will upload it on the virtual classroom.
The websites and videos we can choose from are: Kidskonnect's Olmec Civilization webpage, Ducksters's Han Dinasty webpage, National Geographic's Ancient Egypt webpage, Livius.org: The Babylonian Empire webpage, and MPM's Roman Empire: a Brief History Webpage.
