Your journal/diary will cover the major events of the segment of Roman history and show how things changed across that time/event. 2. Resume. Create a Resume for a historical figure from Roman history. The resume should highlight important aspects of their life and experiences. 3. Storyboard. Using the template, create (draw and color) a six‐panel storyboard showing the key scenes from a movie about that segment of Roman history. 4. Brochure. Create a brochure to advertise travel to Rome or the Roman Empire during that segment of Roman history. You will identify things to do and things to see for the prospective traveler. 5. Timeline. Create an illustrated timeline showing the major events and people within that segment of Roman history. This will require choosing key dates and representing them with images. 6. Textbook notes.
