ACTFL STANDARDS
1.2: Learners understand, interpret, and analyze what is heard, read, or viewed on a
variety of topics.
3.1: Learners build, reinforce, and expand their knowledge of other disciplines while
using the language to develop critical thinking and to solve problems creatively.
4.2: Learners use the language to investigate, explain, and reflect on the concept of
culture through comparisons of the cultures studied and their own.
Context (How does it fit into the unit/curriculum?)
This will be towards the middle part of the unit. Up to this point the students have been
learning about animals and what their Latin names would be. This would be an
introductory lesson for the Roman games and the Colosseum.

Procedures
Pre-Activities: Description
Time Frame
Something to think about: The students will
5-10 mins
be asked a series of questions to think about
and share with the class. The questions will
be: What are some of your favorite games to
play? Where do we see games being played?
What type of games do you think the Romans
had? Where do you think the Romans would
have held their games?

After discussing with the students what types

of games the Romans played and where they
were played, I will introduce the students to

the Colosseum and the Circus Maximus. I will

have the students look at pictures from the
books and make their own discoveries Along
with this I will present to the students a
Thinglink that has more pictures of the
Colosseum and the Circus Maximus as well as
having videos that give a tour of the sites
today and what they would have looked like
in the Roman times.

Time Frame
Objective(s) Targeted
The last thing I will have the students do will
10 mins
1.2, 3.1
be a timeline that shows the students were we
are today and when the Colosseum was built.
Along the way the students will mark down
the year they were born, a decade, a century,
and a millenium. This is to get the students to
see how far back in time it was when the
Colosseum was built.

these places or if they would want to go to
one of the Roman sporting events.
Assessment (How are you assessing students throughout the lesson?)
By asking the students if they would be interested in going to visit these places or watch
these sorts of games would allow for me to see if the students have an understanding of
these places and if I need to go more in-depth on something in a later lesson. (Will build
on more about gladiators and chariot racing in another lesson.)
Differentiation (How are you meeting the needs of different learners?)
As a class we will go over the timeline together this will allow for the students to work as
a group and figure out where things go on the timeline and how many years ago
something happened.
The different ideas and concepts will be given both orally and visually. This will allow
for the students to get the information in more than one way.
