Lesson Summary
Given a rubric, background information, access to computers, print resources, and time students formed groups to design research questions relating to the contributions of ancient Greece and Rome. Students used the questions to guide their research. Students then used the collected research to write a script telling about their lives as their selected role within ancient Greek or ancient Roman life. Students performed their roles in front of a green screen using the green screen app, Do Ink!, with the appropriate voice level and pitch. Students reflected on their progress using a self-assessment. All projects were posted on a poster with a QR code which acted as a museum sign for guests to browse the class museum.
