Design a VR lesson for a world history class using Google Expeditions or similar platform. Objective: Students will identify key architectural features of the Colosseum and Roman Forum. Pre-VR Activity (10 mins): Introduce key vocabulary (arch, aqueduct, forum) and provide historical context. VR Experience (20 mins): 1. Guide students through a 360-degree tour of the Colosseum. 2. Pause at points of interest, asking questions ('What events took place here?' 'How does the architecture support a large crowd?'). 3. Move to the Roman Forum, have students identify different building types. Post-VR Activity (15 mins): Students write a 'postcard' from ancient Rome describing what they saw, or work in groups to build a model of a Roman structure.
