<p>[QUOTE=&quot;FitzNigel, post: 3242440, member: 74712&quot;]Apologies for reviving an old thread, but I just finished up the prep work to do something sismilar (and I had inadvertently used the same name as Gavin’s project...).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Since I teach high school freshman, I figured I needed to do a little more prep work to ensure they don’t get too frustrated with the process and just give up.&nbsp; The students will receive a handout with step-by step instructions, and relevant links to webpage resources which will help.&nbsp; I also photographed each coin so students can work at home without taking the coin with them (because I know they will get lost or disappear if that happens...).&nbsp; As you can see from the screenshot of the class website, the photos aren’t the best, but they will do.&nbsp; Maybe I will try to improve the photos as times goes on (summer project perhaps...).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]848988[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>After attributing, they will have to write a short paper on the significance of the emperor’s reign, and what the symbolism on the coin means.&nbsp; I have two classes (of about 16 students each) which will be doing this project.&nbsp; I can’t afford to let them all keep their coins, but I figure the student from each class who does the best job of researching and writing about their coin will get to keep it (two coins each year I can afford to replace).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]848989[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I couldn’t have pulled this together without the help of several people on this board - so thank you [USER=42773]@John Anthony[/USER] for helping me secure some cheap Romans, and many thanks to those who donated coins (particularly [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER] [USER=44316]@Valentinian[/USER] and [USER=51347]@Alegandron[/USER] whose 2017 Imperitor win was the first coin outside my own personal collection to join the group).&nbsp; This project will end the semester.&nbsp; Unfortunatly I will not be able to post pictures of the kids working on their project (legal issues, as you could imagine).&nbsp;&nbsp; It I’ll let you know how it goes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Speaking of, how did your project work out [USER=83956]@Gavin Richardson[/USER] ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
