The Page for Teachers
This webquest was made for students between 7th and 12th grade and focuses on culture in Ancient Rome. The links provide information on different social classes (plebeians, patricians, slaves and freedpersons) and how subjects like gender or entertainment were valued. At times we get caught up in great battles and edicts that changed the world, and we often lose focus on the most important aspect- the every day people. This webquest was made to show students Roman culture but by examining the banal. That way we can look at what every day folk, like ourselves, did and trace humanities patterns up to the present day.
