Presentations of the Structures

Friday afternoon, as part of our All Roads Lead to Rome exhibit, the students presented the structures they created by explaining the type of structure it was, where it was located/built in the Empire, what materials were used, who commissioned the project and why, the date(s) it was built, and what happened to the building in subsequent years. This gave all students an opportunity to share their "expertise" on the structure they had studied as well as learn about the ones their peers had researched. After researching, writing, and creating a model of their structure, it was a good opportunity for the students to verbally explain what they had learned.
