Students in my 3rd period WHI class created songs about Ancient Rome. Most students used their cell phones and were able to create unique songs using various apps. Check out some of them below!!

Krystal, Lizzie, & Austin:
They called him Spartacus, he was a normal guy.
Until the Romans invaded and he watched his momma die.
She didn’t get a grave, they killed his father too.
They made him a slave, and told him what to do.
Made him a gladiator, they threw him in the ring.
And he fought some lions and soldiers, he was fighting everything.
They made him kill a man and they made you kill again and he finally said, this needs to end.
Casey, Tony, & Haley:
I’m a Spartan, I’m a Spartan, I’m a Spartan
(X6)
I was just an average guy
Until I saw my momma die
I just got caught by the Romans
I had no time to be roamin’
They told me I was a gladiator and threw me in the ring
I was fighting everything
They made me kill a man again and again
I took the helmet off one and it was my friend
The Empire only got rich off of our backs
I think they deserve payback
Of the uprising we escaped our cells
Spread the word to get out your cell
Slaves join us if you’ve had enough
We’ll come in like water through aqueducts
I just wanted to walk with my daughter through Rome
Maybe even see a show
Ill beat them back
I’m free now, I’ll never go back!
Melissa, Paige, & Weston:
Invade your zone, make you run like Ancient Rome.
With the emperor on his throne
With power all he knows
Cause his sanity was thrown
Stabbed in the back
Trust was something he lacked
And matter of fact
His family was killed and attacked
Like the loyalty was real
That was sorta the deal
Even Claudius was killed by his wife
Later on he paid the price
Guess he shoulda thought twice…
Nero was a son indeed with a lust
For power and a need for greed
68 AD he was never freed
Cause he did the deed
But now that he’s gone here Areuleus
Rome was really feeling this
And the birth of Jesus
Christianity was all around
Yeah I know you like the
song so say it with me now.
