Guidelines for Creating an Illustrated Travel Guide to Ancient Rome
Imagine you are a time traveler who has just visited ancient Rome. You want to share your most
remarkable observations and experiences with other time travelers by creating a travel guide
with practical tips to help them prepare for a trip to ancient Rome. Follow these guidelines:
1.
Give your travel guide an interesting and catchy title.
2. Include an introduction that explains why modern time travelers to ancient Rome may
need a travel guide or just an introduction of the purpose of this travel guide.
3. Include five sections in your travel guide. Each section must be at least half a page in
length. Each section should describe an aspect of daily life in ancient Rome and provide
practical information for a prospective time traveler. Choose five aspects of daily life
such as education, family life, food and drink, healthcare, housing, law and order,
recreation, and trade and travel, family life, engineering, science, architecture, gender
roles, religion, etc. (but there are many more you can include; you are not limited to this
list!) For each section in your travel guide, be sure to include:

Accurate descriptions about an aspect of daily life in ancient Rome.

Comparisons between the aspect of daily life in ancient Rome and in modern times.
You should provide helpful advice and practical tips throughout the travel guide to
prepare future travelers for an enjoyable trip to ancient Rome. Make sure you
provide specific examples to compare the ancient Roman aspect of daily life to
what you experience in your own lives. This will help other time travelers better
prepare themselves of the differences they will encounter while visiting ancient
Rome.

An illustration that will help visitors become acquainted with an aspect of life.
4. Be creative in designing your travel guide.
