Roman Mosaics hands-on History Activity and Tutorial Ancient Rome

(1)
An end of year activity I put together from an amalgam of online resources and my own additions . Great as an end of year History/craft activity/ hands-on history activity where students learn about Roman mosaics, engage in related thinking and discussion and then make their own using paper. Simple material required- white paper plus a variety of other coloured papers. I have used it with great success with Yr 7 but it would also work for younger students and students up to Year 9 .

Pompeii (movie) questions Ancient Romans

(1)
Questions/activities to be used in conjunction with the movie 'Pompeii' (2014)- nice as an end of year activity to complement studies of Ancient Romans. Intended for 7 History (with appropriate parental permission for the movie), but could be adapted for other year groups. This works best as an adjunct to more comprehensive study of ancient Rome preceding this movie.

Rights and Freedoms: America Civil Rights Movement

(1)
Learning activities relating to the American Civil Rights Movement as part of Yr 10 History core Rights and Freedoms topic. I recommend doing American Civil Rights before Australian Aboriginal Rights in this unit because they in many ways inspired the Civil Rights Movement in Australia and doing the US first helps to provide a broader context.
