Latin Research Assignment

Culture Topics and Product Ideas
Overview

There are two main phases to creating a culture product; general research and using your research to create a product. Topics should be loosely based on any of the topics in the Cambridge Latin Course book you are reading in class. The product you create from that research should try to not just recall facts but show information in an innovative and unique way.

 

Here is an example:  Topic: Roman/Pompeian Villas

Research as much as possible on this topic. What did the houses look like, who used them, what were the functions of rooms, layouts, and anything else you can find. Take lots of notes and write down bibliographic information.

Then, make a product using the Depth of Knowledge Pyramid as a guide. When thinking up your product, you are aiming for one of the top three depths of knowledge (Analyzing, Evaluating, Creating):

What might products look like at each of these levels?

✖ Remembering: Making a poster board with facts about Roman villas.

✖ Understanding: Writing a diary entry explaining how the rooms were laid out in the house.

✖ Applying: Drawing or making a 3D model of an existing Roman villa and labeling the rooms.

✔ Analyzing: Writing an essay comparing and contrasting Roman villas with modern houses and examining the rooms’ uses.

✔ Evaluating: Writing a diary entry from a time traveler who has seen both ancient and modern houses, and who provides insight about which one is “better” and why.

✔ Creating: Drawing or making a 3D model of a new Roman villa with newly created rooms or layouts and an explanation as to why these would have benefitted the Romans if they had existed.

You will notice that the products for “applying” and “creating” look very similar at first, but the creating one requires a higher depth of knowledge and is more innovative.
