    PowerPoint presentation: notes for teachers

    Imperial Rome
    Aims

    To provide students with visual encounters with key objects from Imperial Rome. To provide teachers with an opportunity to build student familiarity in terms of object identification and object vocabulary. To provide a visual starting point for cross-curricular work on Rome.

    Description

    A sequence of 10 slides

    Teaching ideas

    If you are planning to visit the British Museum, use the images to familiarize the students with some of the objects from Imperial Rome which they will be see in Room 70 at the Museum. Introduce vocabulary associated with the objects such as materials (e.g. marble, silver, gold), technical terms (e.g. inscribed, carved, moulded), name of object (e.g. statue, bust, hoard), function of object (e.g. social status, commemoration, propaganda). Ask students to discuss each image first with a partner and mind-map what the students think about the objects before adding in additional taught information. Assign individual objects to student groups. Ask the group to research their object and then present their object to the rest of the class. What do the objects tell us about imperial Rome? What do the objects tell us about the extend of the Roman empire? Mark the location of the objects on a world map and then continue to research the spread of Roman material on Explore. Discuss the nature and role of primary evidence in historical investigation. Ask students to select one object and write down what they can observe directly from the object. What are the limitations of using primary evidence out of context? What else could you use to find out more about the object? Compare the Roman objects with modern examples of the same objects (e.g. a coin, a portrait/statue of an important person). What are the similarities and differences?
