Roman Crime and Punishment

Roman Crime and Punishment

(0)
Crime and Punishment The aim of this lesson is to gauge how effective Roman punishments were against the crimes committed. The vastness of the Roman Empire and lack of a police force meant that punishments for crime were severe. But were these punishments effective and was everyone in Roman society treated equally? Students analyse the structure of Roman society and the significance of the Twelve Tables under Roman Law. They then have to link the different crimes committed to various categories listed under Roman law and which punishments were given out for the various crimes. There is some differentiated questioning to challenge students, with answers given to help. A ‘what if’ plenary challenges thinking as well as some extended writing practice at the end of the lesson to consolidate learning. There is an enquiry question posed at the start of the lesson and revisited throughout to show the progress of learning throughout the lesson and subsequent unit of work. The lesson comes in PowerPoint format and can be changed and adapted to suit. The lesson is differentiated, fully resourced and includes suggested teaching strategies.

Students use this information to decide if it was right to sentence him to death, despite not firing the shots which killed Constable Sidney Miles. Some key information of the case has been left out deliberately to then challenge the students to see if they wish to change their minds. (For example they are then told about his severe learning difficulties and metal age.) Students also complete a diamond nine activity, rating in order of importance the impact and significance of the case. The lesson ends with some differentiated questions around the subject of the death penalty and a heart, head, bin, bag plenary to consolidate their learning.
