| Title | Ideas for Building a Model of a Roman House |
| Body | Here are some experiences from LatinTeach users on building models of a Roman house in their classes: My students made a room in a shoe box, a diorama of sorts. Details counted. They photocopied frescos for the walls, made furniture, clay pots to scale, even compluvium-impluvium with the box cover and clay tiles, etc. We placed the rooms on the floor as they would be in a standard Roman floor plan; different sized shoe boxes made it interesting not rectangular--the only drawback unless you supply all one size boxes. It was a daily life presentation which you could extend using the Cambridge website visuals. Scoppa, S. Re: [Latinteach] Building a mini Roman house.

One significant caveat: Poll your kids and any other kids who use your classroom beforehand about any food allergies. Cruz, M. Re: [Latinteach] Building a mini Roman house.

It's listed as Domus Romanae near the end of the page. Bush, R. Re: [Latinteach] Building a mini Roman house. The Teaching of the Latin Language listserv (latinteach@nxport.com, 22 Aug 2007). |
