Pompeii Lesson
Learning objectives
In this lesson, students will learn about the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 and its impact on the ancient city of Pompeii.

Students will have the opportunity to achieve this through choosing their own method of learning, from reading, source analysis, research, and video watching options, as well as the chance to engage in extension activities. This lesson includes a self-marking quiz for students to demonstrate their learning.
