PLACES I'VE BEEN
Here is my rendition of the Roman Colesseum which I visited way back in 1962 while in Rome, Italy. I was somewhat disappointed by the interior of the arena mainly because the floor was gone and the understructures exposed. What I had expected was a pristine arena based on watching all those movies with gladiators and chariot races. But, if you really think about it, the place was amazingly well preserved and the visit extremely educational.
Making scenes that illustrate the important things that a student may see on field trips or vacations to famous places is a great exercise for projects in World History, Social Studies, or Government classes. I have many more ideas in my head from places I've been which I will share from time to time. The scenes created by the students can be used in reports and articles.
The scene could have been much more complex, but I just wanted to portray an idea quickly. Our creativity product, GollyGee Blocks®, is great for that.
