The Rome Kamoo thrusts students into a virtual world environment as they role-play one of the characters from Virgil's Aeneid. Students make choices in the story similar to situations faced by the fictional characters. This online, real-time environment enables students to interact with each other, help each other, make trades, or even fight each other if they find themselves on opposite sides. First, students must become familiar with the story. Below are links to the online, paraphrased, abridged version of the Aeneid. After students have read the story, they may begin the Rome KaMOO.
