This lesson plan is for a 7th grade history class on the Roman Empire. Students will begin by playing a game to hook their interest. They will then participate in work stations to review the unit's key objectives on the origins, social structure, gods, and army of Rome. This will prepare them for a final exam assessing their understanding. The exam questions will vary in difficulty to accommodate different student abilities. The overall goal is for students to demonstrate their grasp of the unit's learning objectives on Rome.
