Day 12: Ancient Rome (9/19/2012)

Standard: 6.7.1. Identify the location and describe the rise of the Roman Republic, including the importance of such mythical and historical figures as Aeneas, Romulus and Remus, Cincinnatus, Julius Caesar, and Cicero.

SS Objective: The HHG Tributes of 2018 will be able to describe the Etruscan influences on Roman society and name some of lasting Roman contributions today.

DL Objective: The HHG Tributes of 2018 will be able to create a History folder in their Google Drive, change the name of an existing document, highlight and make complete thinking tracks using the comments feature.

Step 1: DO NOW:  Write a summary of last night's homework in the comment section. A summary is "a brief statement or account of the main points of something."  When you finish, begin reading your silent reading book.

Step 2: You and your 7 o'clock partner will share your reading summaries with each other and give feedback. Questions to think about when listening to your partner's summary:
  • If you had not read the article, would you know what it was about?
  • Did your partner use complete sentences and clear language?
  • Did your partner include information from all of the sections of the text?
  • What are some really great points that your partner mentioned? 
  • What should your partner have included to make the summary even better?
Step 3: Complete this pop quiz about last night's readings.

Step 4: Track Ms. Kelly as we go over how to copy documents so we can edit them, and how to  put them in the history folder you shared with me.

Step 5: Copy this document to your History folder. We will be using it to take notes on important vocabulary. Which words do you already know? Are there any that are completely new? Start filling out the 2nd and 3rd columns of the organizer. Make sure you save your own copy!

Step 6: Track the front as we watch this exciting video about the beginnings of Rome!


Homework: Use the internet (I recommend Dictionary.com) to find definitions for each of the vocabulary words listed in the document from Step 3. Fill in the definitions in the last column on the right under "What I learned". You can access your copy by clicking "Documents" on our HistoryHungerGames homepage.

Also Rome was first a very small village then more people start to come then it become a country in Europe.
