The 3rd Grade Roman Forum
The third grade reenacted a Roman Forum to celebrate the end of our unit on Ancient Rome. The Roman Forum was a marketplace where goods were bought and sold. It was also a gathering place where people would meet for lively conversation. Orators like Cicero and Mark Antony would give rousing speeches in the Forum. If you wanted to hear what gossip was going around Rome, you would go to the Forum! We try to recreate the feeling of the Roman Forum in the classroom by sharing everything we had learned about Ancient Rome.
The event began with a Roman feast featuring traditional Roman foods. Students enjoyed crustula (garlic toast), astaphis panis (homemade cinnamon raisin rolls), fructus (fruit), oleae (olives), and acetarium (salad). The students enjoyed lying on fabric on the floor, which was designed to look like the couches of a traditional Roman feast, and sipped on grape juice.
Following the feast, the students stood next to posters they had created that represented a piece of Ancient Rome. Patrons of the Forum toured through time, beginning with the rise of the empire in 753 BC and ending with the barbarian invaders at the fall of Rome in 476 AD. Throughout this tour, students talked about the impact of the Romans on calendars and astronomy, shared the legend of the first king Romulus and his brother Remus, and explained how Roman roads and aqueducts have influenced our society today.
