Roman Shields
Resource: Powerpoint on Roman Soldiers and their armour including their shields
Description: This powerpoint aims to educate the child about the Roman army. The powerpoint focuses on the Roman army, armour used and different Roman shields.. Via: I made this resource myself adapted from a powerpoint on SlideShare. Teaching Ideas: - Children could design their own Roman Shield. -Children could make their own Roman Shield and choose the materials they would like to use to make it. -Children could compare their shields to the shields used by the Roman army in Ancient Rome -Children could compare shields from different countries and different eras throughout History If I were to teach this lesson I would show the children lots of different examples of Roman Shields so they get ideas for their own shield. I would get the children to focus on the colour and design of their shields. Curriculum Linkage: English: Label a diagram of a Roman Soldier- clothes and armour Visual Arts: Making Shields, Responding to Art, Reflecting on Art Maths: Pattern and Symmetry History: Roman Army, Julius Caesar, Roman Empire, Armour used by the Roman Army |
