I have done persuasive speech.
Including speeches to persuade Claudius to invade and boudicca to battle. Celtic property roundhouse details.
We wrote quest myths and non fiction books using note taking. The children loved it.

As Knightrider says but I found Trimalchio's Feast and other mini-mysteries by Caroline Lawrence better than the full length novels. When I was teaching year 4 (this was in Spetmber time of year) only my more able children coped with reading the full length Roman Mystery novels independently. Later in the year however, quite a few of the class got quite into them.

Ohhhh! just remembered as well...children loved the book 'The Roman Beanfeast by Gillian Cross - each chapter has similar structure so maybe children could write their own (I didn't do this - we just read it as end of day story) - it's got a great ending
