A Tourist Map of the City of Rome
• As a class, we are going to construct a large tourist map of the city of Rome.• In order to do this, we need to research the different buildings that existed
during the Ancient Roman times and learn about what they were used for.• Each group will be given one building/monument to read about and can
reference the readings about daily life in Rome• You will make a large 2-D model of that building/monument and a caption to
go with it.• 2-D model must be DETAILED (use pictures and descriptions you have) – large
poster• Each caption should include: (at least 1 FULL page)
• What does the building look like? What is it made out of?• Why did they construct the building? What was it used for?• What does the building tell us about life in the Ancient city of Rome?
• We will put all the pieces together to create a map of the city of Rome for the classroom.
