Over on FB RAT I posted an article from Caroline Lawrence about some school kids in England who had made a Celtic round house as a lesson in Iron Age building and living. It is a combination of experimental archaeology and reenactment.
Also over on FB Prof Molly Ayn Jones-Lewis of Univ of Maryland teaches ancient warfare by kitting the students out as Romans and Carthaginians to reenact the battle of Cannae.
Both 'hands on' examples seem to me to be ideal ways to encourage study of history, Roman and otherwise, and should be encouraged in curricula.
But on RAT, we don't' have a specific forum for education topics. Is a new forum warranted for this topic or should it be included in another one which could be renamed?
