Class experience
US Grade 4 - 5
One day you’re living a perfectly normal life in 79 AD (CE) Then, on the 24th of August, it all ends. The volcano, Vesuvius, erupts violently. Just after midday, ash and volcanic debris rain down on the city, burying it and nearly all of its inhabitants. Surprisingly, Pompeii lay almost completely forgotten for centuries until archaeologists uncovered the buried remains… What must it have been like, living in the shadow of a mountain that starts to behave strangely? When you don’t know what...
Students will: Look at note-taking and planning Look at historic context Learn about the events surrounding the eruption of Vesuvius Create a piece of fictional writing based on events.
Writing is my passion and as well as majoring in English at university, along with Theatre Arts, I've almost 20 years of experience in teaching English in primary schools. Over those years, I have worked regularly with groups of children specifically on English writing skills and teaching creative writing online. I’m also passionate about history and love to explore historic mysteries and fascinating events. I have used creative writing linked to historic events over many years in school and have helped students blend the facts of the past with creativity in writing.
Homework Offered
Assessments Offered
Informal assessment during classGrades Offered
A notebook or paper and something to write with, or a device to use for writing.
The delivery of content is age-appropriate but the subject matter will include discussing the feelings of people caught up in the event, what became of them and how most died. We'll also look at the fact that historians were able to make plaster casts of the preserved remains of those who perished and some photos will be included in slides. These have the appearance of statues and will not be gory at all.
Content created by me with reference over the years to several works including, but not limited to, 'What Happened to Pompeii? Ancient Rome History for Kids' published by Baby Professor 'Pompeii . . . Buried Alive!' by Edith Kunhardt Pompeii Today: A Museum of People Buried Alive - Archaeology Quick Guide Pompeii | History, Volcano, Map, Population, Ruins, & Factshttps://www.britannica.com Pompeii, Italy: Mount Vesuvius Eruption & Facts - HISTORYhttps://www.history.com Pompeii Onlinehttps://www.pompeionline.net
