Activity:
For this activity, students were asked to create medallions out of clay, paint them and decorate them according to social class assigned by the teacher. This is an example of a medallion from the "upper class" category.
Extension Activity:
As an extension activity, we would explore the history and culture of the byzantine empire. Each student would create two medallions, one for each social class to avoid social problems between students of "different classes". Each student would then pair-share with a partner why they decorated each medallion the way that they did to reflect each class as an exercise in speaking and listening. This would also help each student to reinforce their own learning by having to explain it to another student.
