Assegniamo il compito di ricercare notizie e immagini sulle divinità romane con le quali realizzare un wallposter.
An evil uncle took the babies away from their mother and threw them into the River Tiber.
The babies floated to land and a she-wolf fed and cared for them.

Years later, Mars told his twin sons to build a city where they had been found. The city was Rome.
They both liked the area with the hills, but each wanted to place the city on a different hill.
Romulus wanted the city on top of Palatine Hill while Remus preferred Aventine Hill.
They agreed to wait for a sign from the gods, called an augury, to determine which hill to use.
Remus saw the sign of six vultures first, but Romulus saw twelve. Each claimed to have won.

Romulus started building a wall around Palantine Hill.
Remus was jealous and one day Remus made fun of the wall Romulus had built around the city. The twins argued, fought,
and Romulus killed Remus.
Rome is Founded
With Remus dead, Romulus continued to work on his city. He officially founded the city in 753 BC.
He made himself king and naming it Rome after himself.
The city grew and prospered. For over 1000 years Rome would be one of the most powerful cities in the world.

Over time the city of Rome expanded to cover the seven surrounding hills of Aventine Hill: Caelian Hill, Capitoline Hill, Esquiline Hill, Palatine Hill, Quirinal Hill, and Viminal Hill.
Romulus died when he mysteriously disappeared in a whirlwind.
The poet Ovid wrote that Romulus was turned into a god named Quirinus and went to live on Mount Olympus with his father Mars.

Quiz gamePer verificare l’acquisizione delle conoscenze, ricorriamo a un quiz-game con domande che prevedono la scelta della
risposta fra una serie di opzioni.
Dividiamo la classe in due squadre a ciascuna delle quali, in modo alternato, assegniamo la domanda e le opzioni tra cui
scegliere la risposta: una squadra leggerà la domanda e l’altra, dopo aver concordato la risposta fra quelle proposte, dovrà
leggerla ad alta voce.
Noi, in qualità di giudici, confermiamo o no la correttezza delle risposte. In caso di risposta errata, invitiamo a rispondere
la squadra che ha posto la domanda.
Successivamente, forniamo lo stesso questionario per una verifica a livello individuale (cfr. scheda n. 1).
