5 1.1 Foundation worksheet Create a storyboard DCT Com T Arts Use a storyboard to present your understanding Your task is to complete this storyboard for a film about Pompeii. Filmmakers use storyboards to plan out the basic scenes before they start filming. In your textbook, read about Claudia Terentius Neo and her family in Pompeii. When Mt Vesuvius erupted they became buried under the layers of ash and pumice. Tell the story of Claudia and her family and their fate during the eruption of Mt Vesuvius. Complete this storyboard by writing the missing dialogue and sketching the missing drawings. Narrator: Mt Vesuvius rumbled and the ground shook gently. Smoke curled from the top of the mountain that overlooked Pompeii. Narrator: Pompeii was close to the Bay of Naples, south of Rome. Herculaneum and Naples were not far away. Narrator: Narrator: Suddenly, Vesuvius erupted sending lava and ash several kilometres into the air. Claudia: We decided to wait for Terentius to get home. I looked at our wedding portrait and prayed that he would return soon. Corelia: Narrator: Claudia: We survived the night. The roof creaked eerily under the weight of the pumice and ash. The only way out was through an upstairs window. Narrator: When Vesuvius finally rested, beautiful Pompeii lay under ten billion tonnes of pumice and ash. Giuseppe: I am Giuseppe Fiorelli. I became director of excavations in I put a team to work marking the city out in nine large blocks. Giuseppe:

6 1.2 Extension worksheet Present your understanding in a variety of forms A Write to the emperor Com T Imagine that you are a senior Roman official in the city of Pompeii. You need to write to the emperor explaining what is happening in Pompeii. Include information about: the volcano the mood of the city what you did and why you acted this way how you handled people wanting to leave and those who decided to stay. You need to research how messages were delivered to Rome. Present your messages as letters or reports. Each message should be words. You need to produce a minimum of THREE documents. At least ONE must explain the period leading up to the tragedy and at least ONE must explain the period after it. B Promote Pompeii, the ruin ICT Com T Create a tourist brochure or a website promoting Pompeii as an area of historical interest. Include: maps of the site travel details from the nearest major city sites of interest photographs or illustrations of key archaeological finds details about the important archaeologists who have worked at Pompeii. There is a word limit of 300 words. If you are creating a brochure, a piece of A4 using both sides and folded into thirds would be good. If you are creating a website the same word limit should apply, but you may build in links if you wish. Remember, you need to acknowledge the sources of your photographs or information. C Create a timeline Com T Carry out research to find out what was happening in other parts of the world at the same time Pompeii was buried. Create a timeline from ten years before to ten years after the event that includes the details you discover. Try to move away from a traditional timeline and create one that is visually exciting by using colour and graphics as well as written information. See if it is possible to list events from all continents. Think of ways to illustrate what the people in western Europe believed about the events. Make sure you indicate where you are reporting hypotheses (possible explanations).

7 1.3 Chapter test A True or false? Circle whether the following statements are true or false. 1 We have gained most of our knowledge of Pompeii from what was written in the true false letters of Pliny the Younger. 2 Vesuvius erupted just the once, in AD 79, which is why people didn t expect it. true false 3 Giuseppe Fiorelli discovered the site of Pompeii and was the first to carry out a true false dig there. 4 Giuseppe Fiorelli carried out his research in a systematic and scientific manner. true false 5 All the knowledge that we have of the eruption in AD 79 has been gained through true false archaeological excavations. 6 Ash covered the city of Pompeii in layers up to four-and-a-half metres deep. true false 7 The kitchens and toilets in Pompeii were usually in the same part of the house. true false 8 The suddenness of the eruption and the thick blanket of ash have helped true false archaeologists learn a lot about life in Roman cities at that time. 9 The eruption had an effect on both the land and the sea around Pompeii. true false 10 The archaeologists initially lost a lot of information and evidence because they true false didn t realise what the hollows in the ash and pumice were. Score /10 B Fill the gaps Fill in the gaps in the text with the best answer from the box.

Give an example of a secondary source. 4 Why is it important for an archaeologist to record every one of their finds in its exact location? 5 Why do historians use the letters AD, BC and c.? 6 Think about the fact that up to 2000 people remained in Pompeii when it was obvious that the volcano was about to explode. What were their reasons for not escaping? Score /10 Total /50 = %

9 1.4 Assessment task A Create an archaeology poster Com T ICT Arts Frame key research questions to guide your investigations and report on your findings Create a poster detailing the work of archaeologists. Your poster should encourage people to become interested in archaeology as a career. Use the information in your textbook plus any other detail that you can locate about the work of archaeologists. You could include details of digs in Australia and the training that is required to become an archaeologist. Make sure you include maps, illustrations and photographs of actual archaeological sites. Ensure that you acknowledge the sources of your information in a detailed bibliography. Place this as part of your poster or on the back. The poster should contain at least 200 words of information. If you include images of tools or specialist equipment, you need to explain their use. You must include a bibliography. Refer to modern archaeological sites as well as sites such as Pompeii. You could use technology to help create this poster but blend in its use with hand-drawn frames, maps or illustrations. Hints Look at other posters that promote careers or industries. Plan out your ideas for the poster by initially brainstorming all possible ideas. Once you have done this select the more appropriate ideas and plan your poster in a little more detail. B Diary writing Com T Arts Present your understanding in a diary Imagine that you are Giuseppe Fiorelli. Create a series of diary entries starting from your appointment as the Director of Excavations at Pompeii. Include successes and failures, problems that you encountered, and finds that were unexpected. You need to include at least TEN entries over a period of several months, up to two years. Include details of the method that you used to mark out the site and the tasks. Produce drawings or sketches you might have made as the site was dug. Write the advice that you would have given to your workers. Describe your personal feelings about your work and the site. Think about What pressure would you have been under in your position as Director of Excavations? To whom would you have been responsible? What sort of budget would you have had and how would you prove the value of your work? What would happen to the artefacts that you located?
