Foundation stories: Romulus and Remus

Powerpoint lesson taught for the Suburani Latin course, but could easily be taught as part of a Classics or Ancient History curriculum.

The lesson activities are:

• Establishing the family tree of Romulus and Remus, with information on their relationship to Aeneas, Venus, Mars, and their contemporary family members.
• Create a storyboard on what happened to Romulus and Remus. Instructions are based on pupils having devices in class, or teachers can click on the link in the presentation and work research this together with the class . The activity is scaffolded by giving pupils keywords to based each scene of the storyboard on. There is a storyboard template in the powerpoint.
• Extend and challenge task introducing Livy as a historical source on Romulus and Remus with questions centred around source analysis.

All my lessons are dyslexic friendly with aqua and purple backgrounds and comic sans font.
