    To keep things REALLY simple, hows about a mosaic? Romans used them for decoration and as an artefact the pictures portrayed aspects of their everyday life. You don't have to use clay - here's a link with a simple idea requiring virtually no resources!

    Or get some plasticene, form a fairly flat rectangle and mount on thick card. Inscribe a message in Latin - eg CAVE CANEM (beware of the dog)

    Personally, it's a bit hopeful on the part of the teacher to expect too much!:D I wouldn't.

    Just a quick update for anyone interested - we went for the latin scroll, stained with tea, looks fab. Thanks everyone, esp quirkychemistry.

    Paper mache is made with strips of newspaper and pva glue mixed with water.


    Plain flour and water is cheaper;)
