The document provides instructions for a lesson on the Roman Empire. It outlines objectives to demonstrate understanding of the empire's origins, social structure, gods, and army. It also aims to explain what the Roman Empire means to the student. Students will rotate through 5 work stations, spending 10 minutes on each, which involve rewatching a video, matching forms of government, a handout on gods, and a timeline with questions. They will then reflect on what the Roman Empire means to them. A 40 minute final exam will conclude the lesson.
