Today in class we determined what the students already knew about life in the Rome - governmental style, architecture, religion, art, leaders, and entertainment and then discussed the lasting influences of Roman culture on our current world. We then watched a short video clip on chariot races at the Circus Maximus and discussed how the emperors of Rome used spectacle, games, and sporting events to keep citizens distracted and happy. Homework for tonight and Tuesday night, is to study for the Tools of History quiz on Wednesday. Have a safe day off - see you Wednesday!
