Day 11: Mythbusters: The Founding of Rome (9/18/2012)


Romulus & Remus: The Legend of Rome






Etruscans: The Real Story of Rome
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 Aenas, Romulus and Remus, Cincinnatus, Julius Caesar, and Cicero.

SS Objective: The HHG Trbutes of 2018 will be able to summarize the myth of the founding of Rome and compare the myth to the reality of the founding of Rome.

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: In the comment section, answer the following quick question:
How do you think empires, cities, or countries start?
  • Think critically and creatively when answering this question. 
  • Use 2-3 descriptive sentences. 
Step 2: The Mythical founding of Rome

We will use the Legend of Rome's Founding article from yesterday (Day 10) to learn how to change the documents name and share it with other people in our Google Drive. What does the Legend say happened?

Remember:
  • the Internet is a really powerful tool! 
    •  If you have trouble understanding something that we do in class, there may be resources online, like this video, that can help. 
    • Please feel free to watch the video as I help teammates properly save their document into their History Folder.
  • Google.com: Search for answers! Knowledge is power and I want it!

Step 3: The Real Founding of Rome

The reality of Rome's founding is much different than its Legend. Track the board as we will watch this video about the Etruscans together. After the video, join the class discussion about the Etruscans.

What are three things you learned about the Etruscan civilization?
  • Be specific and write complete sentences.
  • Explain your answer with details.
  • You may enter more than one idea.

Step 4: Homework:
  • Open this document (don't forget to hold Control!) and save your own copy in Google Drive. 
  • {ut it in your History folder, and name it "Etruscan Origins of Rome_Homeroom_FirstNameL." 
  • Read and annotate the article. 
  •  Annotations should include:
    • Highlights (yellow)
    • At least1 comment for every paragraph (complete sentence)
    • Summary of main idea at the end (highlight using green, complete sentences)

I will be able to see your completed homework once it is in your History folder on Google Drive. Homework is due in your History folder on Google Drive by 6:45 am.
