Global Citizenship Project:
The Roman Empire
What are we looking at this time?
This term you will be completing your Global Citizenship Homework Project in place of your regular homework from Geography, History and Philosophy & Ethics. This term we are going to be focusing on the Roman Empire and the culture surrounding this hugely important and influential part of history!
You will have 6 weeks to complete the project and it will be due in on your second to last lesson of the half-term you have with your teacher so that it can be marked and given back to you before the Summer Holiday.
What do I need to create?
In this topic you will be creating:
- A timeline of the events in the Roman Empire
- A map of the Roman Empire and the different countries that it invaded
- A profile of the gods of the Roman Empire and what they stood for
How much time do I need to spend on this?
During this half term you will not receive homework in your Global Humanities subjects to ensure that you can maximise your efforts in this project. As such, you will be expected to spend five hours (an hour a week) on your work.
How will I be assessed?
You will get an overall level for your project based on National Curriculum criteria. Look out for the purple boxes below the tasks which will guide you into the higher grades to ensure that you achieve your potential.
How will this project help develop my Character?
At the Hazeley we want to make sure that we develop not just your academic skills but also your personal skills. Our aim is that you will leave us at the end of year 13 with the best skills and the best chances of going on and being as successful as possible!

What will I need to do?
On the next page you will find your Project Menu board. This will contain all of the instructions, information and resources that you need in order to do well.
You will have to:
- Complete the Chicken, Wing Roulette and Burger tasks (the History, Geography and Philosophy tasks)
- Add one ‘side’ to your work. Look carefully for what level it is worth and match this to your MAG!
- Use the ‘Something special’ box to help give you some extra research!
In case you need them, a blank map is attached at the end which will help you with the Geography task.
Make sure that you plan your time carefully and ask your teacher if you need any help well in advance of the final deadline!
