<strong>Teacher</strong> <strong>Notes</strong><br />
The exhibition A Day in <strong>Pompei</strong>i, takes us back in time to experience life and death in<br />
this cosmopolitan Roman city. For teachers and students of Italian, the exhibition<br />
provided the rare opportunity to view extraordinary artefacts in an exhibition which<br />
explores the experience of that day in <strong>Pompei</strong>i, in August 79 AD.<br />
The online education kit <strong>Andiamo</strong> a <strong>Pompei</strong>! is a resource for teachers of Italian and<br />
includes the following—<br />
• Materials that unpack the key themes in the exhibition - food and dining, religious<br />
practices, recreation and entertainment, social structure, business and trade,<br />
luxury and beauty, baths, architecture, technology, volcanic activity and much<br />
more.<br />
• Tuning in activities with student worksheets and ICT research projects.<br />
• Pre/ Post activities for beginner and intermediate levels of Italian accompanied<br />
by a slideshow presentation of signature objects with questions in Italian.<br />
• The objects in the exhibition focus on the question, ‘What can we learn about<br />
daily life in ancient <strong>Pompei</strong>i by studying the material culture of its people?’<br />
Background information for teachers and students on the themes and gallery images of<br />
objects and multimedia elements can be found at the A Day in <strong>Pompei</strong>i portal at<br />
http://museum.victoria.vic.gov.au/<strong>Pompei</strong>i<br />
Establishing Prior Knowledge<br />
For students’ orientation and assessment of prior knowledge, teachers should select<br />
some of the Tuning In activities provided. In particu<strong>la</strong>r students need to understand three<br />
key concepts before they visit the exhibition.<br />
1. Time period and location of <strong>Pompei</strong>i<br />
What does <strong>Pompei</strong>i look like then and now?<br />
See <strong>Pompei</strong>i Today slideshow (<strong>PDF</strong>) for a visitors view<br />
2. The study of material culture as a way of understanding the past<br />
Signature Objects- <strong>Notes</strong> for teacher (<strong>PDF</strong>)<br />

Extension activities<br />
Follow-up and reflective sessions with students are essential. <strong>Teacher</strong>s could consider<br />
the Signature objects, slideshow and post-visit questions.<br />
