EARLY ROMAN EMPIRE
We recently had a Live Wax Museum at First Baptist Academy. We have been doing this for several years but this was one of the best we have had. The 6th Grade History and Literature teacher chose different eras to represent and each of the eras had a table. As you can see on the above picture, these two girls represent the Early Roman Empire. The gorgeous young lady on the left represents Theodora who lived from 500-548 AD and the adorable young lady on the right is portraying Vibia Perpetua who lived from 182-203 AD.
The girls had to do much more than dress up as characters. As you can see they made a backboard (with velvet curtains no less) as well as pictures and other significant pictures of the era. If you notice, hanging below the curtain is a timeline of significant happenings during their time period and on the table they have some books, a food item that was popular during the Early Roman Empire, and a laptop. (You knew I wouldn't be posting about this if there wasn't some part of technology.) Each group made an Animoto video which represented more significant facts about their time period.
Below are a few more groups representing the Middle Ages, the Reformation, the Roman Republic and Ancient Greece. These kids are awesome!
