Community Review for Excavate!: Rome
My Take
Terrific as a tool to make written/textbook content come to life. I would suggest demonstrating to the class first so that they understand the way the journal works. Not best as an initial learning tool because some knowledge of the Roman civilization/housing is assumed.
How I Use It
I used this with a class of 3rd through 5th grade Gifted students who are exploring different ancient civilizations. They were super-engaged in excavating the different artifacts and finding out about different areas of the city. They wanted to play again, and also introduced students in their main class to the game when they came in as a whole class and had free choice of games.
