  3. Tuning In Activities • Re-cap : - What have we learnt in Lesson I?

  4. Re-cap • The ancient Romans were largely influenced by the ancient Greeks ~ change & continuity from one civilisation to another • The ancient Romans influenced thinking, architecture, the arts and sciences and the lives of many people who lived throughout the Roman empire. • With respect to the 7 features of a civilisation, ancient Rome is defined as a ‘civilisation’ • city • sophisticated arts • knowledge of Math & Science • division of labour • writing • government • sophisticated architecture

  5. Cooperative Learning – Jigsaw Activity Step 1 : Pupils are divided into 4 groups with each group reading up on an assigned topic • Aqueducts • Roads & bridges • System of governance • Architecture Step 2 : Read up on your assigned topic from 5A coursebook page 111 - 120

  6. Cooperative Learning – Jigsaw Activity Step 3 : While reading, • decide what are the key points of the legacy assigned to you, and how this legacy benefits you • be prepared to share these points with your peers Step 4 : Every pupil in each group will be given a number; pupils with the same number from each group will not sit together Step 5 : In your new group, share with your peers the key points that you have prepared earlier.

  7. OTHER ROMAN LEGACIES

  8. Names of months • The Roman leader Julius Caesar introduced a 365-day calendar from Egypt • This forms the basis for our modern calendar • Nearly all our months have names of Roman origin: • Roman gods – Jan, Feb, Mar, May, June • Season – April (“apirere” = to open) – flower buds opening • Roman leaders – July, August • Number – Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec (7th, 8th, 9th,10th – in original calendar)

  9. Do any of you have Roman (Latin) names? • Just as with Greek names, there is a high chance that many people in your class have Roman names • Roman daughters would usually be named after their father: • Julia = daughter of Julius • Antonia Major and Antonia Minor = the older and younger daughters of Antonius

  10. Brand Names • The Japanese sportswear company ASICS takes its name from the Latin phrase anima sana in corpore sano "a healthy mind in a healthy body"

  11. The Renaissance • Literally “Rebirth” (French) • 14th-17thcentury AD • You may learn more about this in Secondary school • Europe saw a revived interest in the knowledge of Greece and Rome • This paved the way for great advances in philosophy, architecture, science and art

  12. How did this legacy come to us? • Through colonisation, the Europeans spread their laws, education, architecture and political systems throughout the world • Britain was once colonised by Rome • This is how Singapore came to inherit the legacy of Greece and Rome

  13. Conclusion • As you watch the following video, reflect on what you have learnt from each other in your group

  14. Think! • Is present-day Rome still as ‘powerful and influential’ as in the past? • Rome was a civilisation which had great artistic achievements, yet saw cruel fights as “entertainment” • Inequality and wasteful living became common • What does this tell us about civilisations?
