This week in History we will conclude our study of the Roman empire. Today students finished up taking notes on a PowerPoint presentation on the decline of the empire and answered two questions.
1. How did moving the capital from Rome to Constantinople weaken the western part of the empire?
2 Which of Rome's internal problems do you think hurt it the most? Why?
Tomorrow students will work on a history story frame on the fall of Rome and will be introduced to the Byzantine empire.
This week's homework, due on Friday the 24th, is a current event report. Students will choose a newsworthy event from any printed news source (newspaper, magazine, printed page from a website). Students will include the following information in their report:
-Name of the country in which the story takes place
-Names of two countries that border the country in which the story takes place
-Date of the story
In the report students will summarize the story in their own words and explain why it is important to their lives and to the world. The report should be at least one paragraph of approximately 300 words.
