Today in World History we had a short quiz on the Tools of History from chapter one. Students then began to read chapter 2 on the rise of Rome. While reading students were asked to answer the following questions: What advantages did Rome have geographically? What made the early citizens of Rome change from a kingship to a republic? Who began the end of the republic? Classes who did not finish these questions in class were asked to finish them by tomorrow. Homework for this week is an illustrated time line dating from 510 b.c. to 14 a.d. with four events including a drawing for each. These events will come from the reading. Tomorrow we will continue our discussion of the rise of Rome, including the end of the republic and beginning of the empire. And one final reminder - 5 week progress reports will be submitted by next week. Keep an eye out for them.
