Pre-Activities: Description
Time Frame
Objective(s) Targeted
Something to think about: The students will
5-10 mins
1.1, 1.2
be asked a series of questions to think about
and share with the class. The questions will be
What are some sports teams that you cheer
for? What do you do to cheer them on? How
are sporting events advertised in American
culture? How do you think the Romans would
have advertised sporting events.
After discussing the different questions with
10-15 mins
1.2, 4.1
the students, we will move on to talking about
different ways things are advertised in
American culture today. We will also look at
what the Romans did to advertise for their

different sporting events.

During activities: Description
Students will work in groups of two to create
their own poster advertising the upcoming
race at the Circus Maximus. Students will
have to choose which team they are going to
be cheering for: red, white, blue and green,
and have it written somewhere on their poster.
Other than that the students will be able to
decorate it in any other way that they want to.
After the posters are finished the students will
show the class their poster and tell the class
which team they were cheering for. If needed
the students can have more time to work on
their poster and they can be shared at the
beginning of the next class period.

Assessment (How are you assessing students throughout the lesson?)

I will be able to assess the students by looking at the different things that they put on their
posters. Do they have one of the four chariot color teams or did they put a random color
for who they are cheering for? Did they draw the inside of the Circus Maximus? If so
what does it look like?
Differentiation (How are you meeting the needs of different learners?)
By having the students work it pairs it allows for the students to work together to
complete the project. Since they are working with partners I would be able to assign the
partners and have a student who is struggling with understanding with a student who has
a good understanding of what is happening in the class.
