Day 10: The Founding of Rome (9/17/2012)

Standard 7.1.2: Identify Rome on a world map and discuss the geographic borders of the empire at its height and the factors that threat­ened its territorial cohesion.


SS Objective: The HHG Tributes of 2018 will be able to identify Rome on a world map and summarize the events of the founding of Rome.

DL Objective: The HHG Tributes of 2018 will be able to save a Google Doc, highlight and make comments.


Step 1: Submit your DO NOW in the comment section below.
What causes a country to conquer other countries?
  • Use correct spelling and grammar. You need to use complete sentences.
  • If you are having trouble, try to think about yourself as a ruler. Why might you want more territory? There is no right or wrong answer -- we are just brainstorming ideas!
  • Once you have submitted your response, please read through your teammate’s responses.

Step 2: Look at the map below. This year, we will be studying each of the places highlighted in a different color. Can you figure out where Rome is?

Step 3: At its height, the Roman Empire extended to three continents. Your task is to use the internet to figure out which three continents it touched. Enter your answers in this form.

Step 4: Open this story, which tells the Legend of Rome’s Founding.

Step 5: Track Ms. Kelly while she shows you how to save the Legend in your Google Docs, highlight and make comments.

Step 6: Read the Legend of Rome’s Founding. As you read, you will consider the following questions:
  • Who raised Romulus and Remus?
  • Who was Romulus's and Remus's father?
  • It says there was another version of the story. How is this possible? Isn't the past just the past, and what happened, happened?

Step 7: Read and annotate (annotation is the upper school way to say Thinking Tracks) your copy of the text. (To properly annotate, you need to highlight and comment.) [Reminder: Insert > Comment]

Homework:
  • Have Parent/Guardian Sign Progress Reports for all classes. 
  • Finish reading and annotating the text if you need too. 
  • Then, show me what you know by answering these questions.
