Introducing The Romans - Worksheet

The worksheet titled "Introducing The Romans" is designed to engage students with the history of the Roman civilization. Initially, it prompts pupils to activate their prior knowledge by asking them to jot down any information they already have about the Romans on a spider diagram. This exercise encourages them to think about what the name 'The Romans' might suggest, stimulating deductive reasoning and setting the stage for further exploration of the topic.

As the activity progresses, students are invited to consolidate their understanding of the Roman Empire, which at its zenith in 117 AD is depicted on the worksheet in green. To aid in synthesizing the information gathered, sentence starters are provided. These prompts guide learners to construct a paragraph that encapsulates their learning about the Romans, including general information about Rome, intriguing facts, and personal discoveries from the lesson. This structured approach helps students to organise their thoughts and articulate their insights about one of history's most influential civilizations.
