Task: Your task is to build the house of a slave/peasant and a senator in Ancient Rome using Minecraft.ĭifferentiation: If the students are reluctant to use Minecraft for this centre they can draw the houses using the descriptions instead. The other two students will get the second cue card that tell them they are senators in Ancient Rome. Two of the students will get the first cue card that tells them that they are slave/peasants in Ancient Rome. Introduction: Provide the students with two different cue cards.That time-warp them back to Ancient Rome. Materials Needed: Computer, Minecraft game, Screen recording program (Screenflick for Mac, Frapps for PC). Language Oral Communication 2.3 communicate in a clear, coherent manner, presenting ideas, opinions, and information in a readily understandable form (e.g., respond in an appropriate order to multi-part, higher-level questions in a student-teacher conference or a group discussion explain the results of research in an oral presentation, including a statement of the research focus, the procedures followed, and the conclusions reached use an organizational pattern such as chronological order or cause and effect to present ideas in a dialogue or discussion). Mathematics Number Sense and Numeration – Proportional Relationships – demonstrate an understanding of simple multiplicative relationships involving unit rates, through investigation using concrete materials and drawings (e.g., scale drawings in which 1 cm represents 2 m) (Sample problem: If 1 book costs $4, how do you determine the cost of 2 books? … 3 books? … 4 books?). Social Studies A1.2 compare aspects of the daily lives of different groups in an early society (e.g., the work, family life, education, food, dress, and/or housing of a slave/peasant and senator in ancient Rome, women of different castes in medieval India, a serf and lord in feudal England, a man and a woman in medieval China or Mohawk society, or a merchant and noble in Renaissance Italy), and explain how differences were related to the social organization of that society (e.g., the caste system in India the matriarchal organization of some First Nations classes in imperial Rome or in feudal societies in Europe or Asia the emergence of a wealthy merchant class in Renaissance Italy). Minecraft and Ancient Rome Grade 4 Ontario Curriculum Expectations: These stations provide hands-on and cooperative learning experiences that give students a “real-life” application of their knowledge. More than one centre is set up around the classroom and (in groups of four or five) students get to choose the station they want to work at.
Often centres are used in a classroom to allow students to explore and apply their skills of a specific topic/curriculum expectation.
