Our new group

Today we added to our number, and we started delving into the wonders of ancient history... ancient Roman architecture. Here is a fab video we started with:


Ancient Rome: A project between Khan Academy and Rome Reborn - with Dr. Bernard Frischer

After viewing the video we talked about what we saw, and followed some of the discussion points on the sheet below.

The graphic on the bottom left was made using a programme such as Wordle. Have you ever used Wordle? Select some text (I used the Wikipedia information regarding the Roman Forum) and pasted it in. The rest is done for you!

  1. Can we learn about ancient Greece next week because some of the buildings look like the Parthonean. (Sorry that's totally off topic!)IVAN SCHICKER

    1. Great idea Ivan! You're right, there are a lot of similarities between Roman and Greek architecture. We will definitely stop off in Ancient Greece sometime. :-) In the meantime, have a look at this very very cool video of the Parthenon... https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/art-history/art-history-400-c-e--ancient-cultures-1/ancient-greece/v/Parthenon
