ROMAN HOUSE PROJECT - Quia
ROMAN HOUSE PROJECT
DUE DATE:
EDIBLE HOUSE
1. Construct a Roman domus (with atrium), villa urbana, or villa rustica out of
100% edible materials.
2. The rooms should be recognizable according to the models, pictures, and drawings studied in class. There should be NO need for labels.
3. This is an individual, not group, project worth a test grade.
4. Be creative! Be frugal! Use inexpensive materials! Remember that it must be 100% edible. This cannot be a combination of edible and non-edible materials.
5. Use one of the two icing recipes on the back of this sheet as your "glue."
ALTERNATIVE NON-EDIBLE HOUSE #1
1. Construct a Roman domus (with atrium), villa urbana, or villa rustica out of
100% non-edible materials found around your home.
2. The rooms should be recognizable according to the models, pictures, and drawings studied in class. There should be NO need for labels.
3. This is an individual, not group, project worth a test grade.
4. Be creative! Be frugal! Use inexpensive 100% NON-EDIBLE materials found around the home! This cannot be a combination of edible and non-edible materials.
ALTERNATIVE NON-EDIBLE HOUSE #2
1. Put together the attached model. (Unknown source)
2. Paste the pieces onto cardstock before cutting.

Minus... (-5 for every class day late beyond due date and other mitigating circumstances)
The 2 icing variations listed below should harden/set relatively quickly. If icing does not set quickly, it probably was not beaten enough or was kept too damp in storage.
Recipe #1: 3 egg whites
1 lb. box of confectioner's sugar
1 tsp. cream of tartar
Beat egg whites and cream of tartar with one cup of confectioner's sugar until
mixture is smooth and creamy. Add the remaining sugar and beat with an electric
mixer for 10 minutes. The frosting should form stiff peaks. Store in a tightly
covered container in the refrigerator until it is to be used.
Recipe #2: 3 egg whites at room temperature
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 (16 oz.) box of confectioner's sugar
Beat together for at least 5 minutes. Keep in a plastic container with a damp
paper towel until ready to use.
HAPPY HOUSE BUILDING!

Notes
ROMAN HOUSE PROJECT
Use in Latin III as culmination to house unit which includes
- level 1 reading of a tour of a house
- drawing of map of houses of Rome passed around class
- webquest on Roman houses
- computer programs on Roman life, customs, mythology, etc.
- Pliny's Laurentine villa reading from LFA III text
- packet about houses which I received from ACL Institute Teacher Exchange
- test on houses
Suggestions: a project cannot be made of edible materials and then glued together with
glue due to health issues--NO GLUE
offer alternative versions
I once had student allergic to sugar
I once had objection to doing a model project—research paper on
Roman insulae (apt houses) works very well here
tell students ahead of time that the projects will be eaten and then remains
discarded by end of day--other classes may get to "see" and snack
on the remains
have each student describe the house to others--this gives you enough time
to grade according to the general rubric you provided--most
get high grades on this project
Suggestions for Adaptation by Other Target Languages
The sample Roman house is intentionally blurry and tiny so as not to violate copyright since the source of this house model is unknown to me.
Your students will need to make their own house models if the construction materials are something non-edible.
This project works with units covering types/styles of houses as well as units covering rooms of houses.
This project can be:
basic—students verbally identify the rooms in the target language
advanced—students verbally identify the rooms AND tell what items are found in
the rooms
more advanced—students verbally identify the rooms AND tell what items are
found in the rooms AND tell what activities occur in the rooms
super advanced—students identify the rooms AND tell what items are
found in the rooms AND tell what activities occur in the rooms both
verbally and in writing
The degree of target language usage may also vary according to level of student:
English only, room names only in target language, combination of English and target language, target language only.
Do this project immediately after a holiday (Halloween, Christmas, Easter) when candy items are on sale.
