We are going to try something different. The students have been learning about Ancient Rome for the past three weeks. Mrs. Wagner and I want the students to pick out something they are personally interested in (about Ancient Rome) and think of a question they have on the topic. They should do research to find the answer. While they are researching the first question, they should be thinking about what other questions they have based on their new found knowledge. It can be directly related or indirectly related.
Here's an example. Let's say I'm interested in Ancient Roman aqueducts.
Here's an example. Let's say I'm interested in Ancient Roman aqueducts.
- I might have a question: "where is the source of the water for the aqueducts that fed water to Rome?"
- While I'm getting the answer to that question, I might ask "How did they build the aqueducts?"
- Which might lead to the question "How did they get through the hills and valleys?"
- Which might lead to the question "How does water pressure work?"
- A final question might be "Where else do we use water pressure in modern times?"
Create a slide using Powtoon for each question. Include the question, answer, and reference source. You must have at least 4 questions. Here are a couple of places to start your research:
