Tuesday & Thursday, 10/28 10/30

This week, we finished up learning about the social class system. Each of the students had a role assigned to them for the duration of our Rome unit. We learned about what each member of the class system does. We also learned about various aspects of daily life like housing, baths, games, etc. Students had to create a PowerPoint to present to the rest of the class about their topic.

We also learned about the various Emperors of Rome this week. The students were required to make a campaign poster about a certain Emperor. We learned a lot of the Emperors were not very good people, so it was challenging for students to put a positive spin on them. 

We ended the week with a "CSI: Julius Caesar" 

Students had various pieces of evidence and had to use their reasoning skills to decide why the Senate killed Caesar. 

Next week we will talk about government and wrap up our Rome unit. 

As always, check Skyward for current grades. I update grades daily.
