The lesson which left a lasting impression on me was the second lesson we taught, on Roman and Celtic home life. We decided to bring the ancient world to the class by dressing up in both Roman and Celtic clothing. This lesson was great for the pupils who really enjoyed questioning the visiting Celt and Roman, and also for me as teacher, as the pupils were asking questions for themselves rather than needing us to prompt them. This interactive lesson made such an impact on the pupils that they kept on asking us each week where the Celt and the Roman had gone. This made me very happy as it was clear we had made an impression on them.
Another lesson I really enjoyed was the one I planned myself. This may be because I spent a lot of time working on it. It left me satisfied that a lesson I had planned and done the work for was enjoyable and educational. This was particularly true for the storyboard pupils had to create about their own Roman god. A special needs pupil had spent a lot of time on his storyboard and went to present it on his own to the class, winning the competition which we had set. This experience made me really glad to have taken part in the module.
