Social Studies Lesson Plan – Ancient Rome

This free Inquiry-Based Analysis Lesson ( D-I-E ) is an supporting lesson plan for our Excavate Rome civilization history game for social studies educators – Activate student interest before playing Excavate! Rome by inviting students to describe artifacts and hypothesize their use in ancient Rome.  Use the D-I-E lessons to record observations during game-play and to check their hypotheses for accuracy.  It is a fun way to prepare and engage with content while playing Excavate! Rome. (Answer sheet included)

There are four lesson plans including Roman Baths, Colosseum, Domus, and Insula which are the four sites students as archaeologists explore in the Excavate! Rome digital world history game.

These materials are designed for middle school and high school educators.  The educational game was designed for social studies classrooms for grade 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.
