This is a discussion based writing unit discussing who was the greatest Roman leader during the Ancient Rome civilization. The unit has been split into four separate lessons which will take students approximately 40-50 minutes each.
The first lesson involves students retrieving facts from informational texts about Julius Caesar, Augustus and Constantine, and writing these on to an included fact sheet. In the second lesson students need to use these facts to write three to four paragraphs about the individual Roman leaders. In the third lesson students need to use prompt sheets to write up an introduction and a conclusion. In the final lesson your class will need to check their draft paragraphs for mistakes before writing up their work on a neat copy using the template provided.
NO PREP is needed!
Good luck, I hope you get some great results!
