Surviving Pompeii Activity Video Guide

Students will watch and analyze a 5 and a half minute video on the destruction of Pompeii by Mount Vesuvius (with a few references to Herculaneum) by answering 22 questions and completing an extension task. The answers are included where appropriate and the video is from TedEd.  

Sample questions include:
--What is one example of why sacrifices were made in temples?
--Why did Fabia and her family decide to escape on foot?
--What was an unexpected challenge Marcus faced?
--Summarize Fabia’s experience 14 hours later.
--Give two examples of what historians have learned about Ancient Rome from Pompeii’s ruins.
