Oct. 6th - Oct. 10th

This week in World History we continue our study of Rome. This week we focus on the expansion of Rome as it moved from a republic to an empire. Today we took Cornell style notes on a PowerPoint presentation of Rome's governmental history and then discussed and answered questions in small groups. This week's homework assignment is to design a bumper sticker, using at least 4 colors, that makes a statement that is either for or against Christians in early Rome. We will be learning about the beginnings of Christianity during the Roman era tomorrow. We hope to finish this lesson on the early Roman empire by Friday. If possible, we will have a review game on Friday to prepare for our quiz on this material early next week. The class with the highest overall score average on the quiz will win the "Donut Challenge". Two quick reminders - there is no school this Thursday the 9th and expect students 5 week progress reports in the next week.
