Topic: the Legend of Romulus and Remus

We thought about the beginning of the Roman Empire in our lesson today. There is a story which says that Romulus, the first king of Rome, was thrown into the River Tiber when he was a baby, along with his twin brother, Remus. The story continues with a wolf finding the babies, and taking care of them. Next, a herdsman found the boys, and looked after them until they grew into men. They built the city of Rome on the banks of the River Tiber. The brothers argues about a wall that Romulus had built around the city. There was a fight, and Remus was killed. Romulus became the first king of Rome.

A legend has many parts that are made up. Which parts of this story do you think are imaginary? In class we made a storyboard of the legend. We will finish it next topic lesson.
