The eye-catching format of this book makes it a very engaging read for this age group. Not only are the pictures in full color, but the captions and headlines are also very attention-grabbing. The only downside of this very engaging format is it might confuse students into thinking the Romans had newspapers.
Potential Lesson Plan:
Standard: Standard 6-2, Indicator 6-2.3
Objective: The students will summarize historical information by creating a faux newspaper article.
Materials: Scissors, markers, pens, pencils, card-stock, paper, and history textbook.
Outline: Students will pick a historical event from their textbook and create a newspaper article to summarize it. Students will mimic the style of The Roman News text. They will create a draft version in black and white before creating a final version on card-stock and in color.
