Web Tool: Podcasts
Other Skills Utilized: Students will work on podcasting skills, as well as being familiar enough with historical events to be able to compare them to song lyrics.
Lesson Plan: Students will have been creating podcasts for their history class for some time now. For this podcast, students will be working alone. They will be required to find a song where the lyrics could be said to describe the events occurring in Rome as the Republic gave way to the Roman Empire. The students will play the song (as last I understood educational allows individuals to use materials for educational purposes). Once the song is finished they will describe how each verse of the song relates to Rome at this period in its history. The lyrics need not be literal, but in fact figures of speech such as metaphors are highly encouraged.
