               complete the          worksheet.  Give guidance on how to gather and record

               information.


               Some of the work could be completed as Creative Writing in an English lesson

               or for homework.


               Learning for Life


               The children will begin to realise the positive influence the Romans have had on

               Britain.  They should also be learning study skills as they conduct their own
               research.

               in pictures of        their homes for a display to compare Roman and modern
               homes.


               3.      Read the section from the top of the worksheet then let the children
               work in pairs to      compile a list of features of Roman and modern homes.
