A two part video of Petronius’ dinner with Trimalchio. Starts with a bit of history on Petronius and then goes on to two videos talking through the resrouce to help pupils understand the text. The resource is displayed on the screen so pupils could annotate from the recording if they want (I don not actively annotate on the screen) The two parts together are 38 minutes so quite a lot of detail here. This was created for my pupils and they are using it for revision. It could also be used for homework/ teaching/ cover lesson.

A comprehensive booklet to be used to help pupils consolidate the satirical texts from the Literary sources. Each section provides a brief history about the writer and the satire that is presented. The booklet then asksd pupils to respond, summarising key information from the test. There are study questions for discussion at th eend of each text. I used this as a homework booklet to reinforce what was learnt in class and as a revision resoucres for the pupils- the discussion questions were the starter for following lessons. You could however, also use it as an in class resource. A total of 11 pages. An example about Juvenal below:

A thorough series of two/ three lessons (18 slides) on Horace 2.8 with a view to help pupils understand who the characters are and the parts they play in the satire.

Some Myth and religion recall slides included for mini starters.

A detailed series of lessons (9 lessons over 33 slides) that cover the Roman Home and family section of the OCR exam.

Also detailed analysis on Pliny 2.6 with questions to answer plus my board annotations to utilise. Then analysis of Horace 2.8 with analysis questions for the pupils to do in groups and feedback. Fishbowl discussion at the end. This all leads to a 15 mark literature question on dinner parties. Pepperd with Myth and religion recall A total of 9 lessons

A video recorded for my pupils that covers Roman City Life Satire. This video talks through ‘discrimination at a dinner party’ by Pliny and then goes on to talk about Pliny’s life and history.
