I had a sub today so students worked on the Chapter 13, lesson 1 worksheet about Rome's beginning and geography.

tuesday, 5/17/16

Today we had time to finish any loose ends with our podcasts and Chapter 12 projects.  Last day to finish and turn in!!!

Make sure you sent me your Work Journal on the Turn IN button on Edmodo and filled out the Google Form that i posted on Edmodo as well (everyone).

wednesday, 5/18/16

Students completed the Lesson 2 worksheet on Ancient Rome and its Republic.

Click on the Calendar to find the homework!

thursday/friday 5/19 & 5/20

We discussed the Legacy of the Greeks from Chapter 12 and viewed a great video showing how Alexander conquered most of the known world but also brought the culture of the Greeks to all these conquered lands.  Science and Technology, Philosophy, Art, Architecture, language, food, and dress.  It further shows that even though Alexander didn't rule with democracy, he did understand the incredible merits when free men share ideas freely and are free to express and create in that environment.......that it was possible for one king to rule the whole world.  Wow!!!!!  Pretty powerful stuff.

When we finished the video, students opened the link to a Google Slide template on Edmodo and began work on a Google Slide about Lesson 1 and 2 of chapter 13 Rome.  All the instructions are in this template.  Students just click File and Make a copy and they are off to the races.  We'll finish this on Monday so it's not homework.
