Make History Real!

Build a Roman-styled working aqueduct; construct a Roman-styled highway with drainage; make a stone triumphual arch; reconstruct the Forum Romanum (in a pizza box!); turn a legend into a rap; set up a Senate; write your own "Twelve Tables of Law"; spend some denarii; put on a pantomime; and open your own fast-food popina!

Meet the People!

Meet Romulus and Remus (sibling rivalry at its worst!); see how Lucretia's sad fate changed history; write free-verse in the style of Horace and Ovid; compare the power of Papa then to now; meet the numina, the lares, and the penates (spirits); cheer for Spartacus in the Struggle of the Orders; keep a Commentari Dierum (journal) a la Julius Caeser.

Think About...

Why Roman history is so important to us now; what patriotism means to you; how global unity is fraing today; how the early tribes enriched Rome; how violence as entertainment- then and now- affects people; your government compared with the Roman Republic; the lessons of Hannibal and King Pyrrhus; what we can conclude from the Fall of Rome.

Be A Kaleidoscope Kid...investigate, participate, and relate to the past to build a better future!
