ISTITUTO COMPRENSIVO DI
OZZANO DELL’EMILIA
(BOLOGNA) ITALY

I would like to make some preliminary remarks:
According to the new school reform by the
Minster Moratti, The Roman history is not a school subject on the national syllabus in the junior secondary school
So this project cannot be compulsory and the involved pupils are from class 1 but they are helped by some pupils from class 3

This project let pupils: learn the main stages of an excavation know some basis on the modern museology learn the most important operations of restoration, signing, drawing, cataloguing know the history of a people through documents and finds realize that to reconstruct a historical period is the result of complex operations as time progressed

The working process is divided into three steps

st
Skilled Archeologists from Ozzano are teaching pupils the basis to know the ancient history of people who lived at
Claterna from 500 BC to 500 AD
Pupils will also find out the possible links with the archeological sites in Uppakra and Jomsborg

nd
Pupils, divided into small operating groups and referring to their notes, will produce reports on the subjects brought up by the
Archeologists
Their writings focusing on particular aspects of Roman living habits will be delivered to the web - editor in Italian and English and will be on the school web site as well.

rd
Pupils will produce drawings, paintings, handmade, models, leaflets, recipes to show in a personal exhibition

VIROM and COMENIUS
Projects have much in common

Lots of important aspects relating to the research the study the possible connections among different cultures so we have connected these projects

Children of class 1 are working on the past and some Pupils of class 3 are their tutors
They have the responsibility of small groups
They have to help the younger Pupils and collaborate with them

They must set up a e-mail link with your
Students.
