Day 9: Intro to Rome (9/14/2012)

Key points:

1. Technology is a tool, not a toy.
2. Social media a tool for both documenting and creating history.
3. The Roman Empire create many technologies that we still use today.

SS Objective: The HHG Tribute of 2018 will be able to make connections to the difficulties of ruling a large empire and identify familiar roman contributions as seen on a video.

DL Objective: The HHG Tributes of 2018 will be able to view a video, open the link to the reflection, complete and successfully submit the reflection.

Task 1: If you were able to open a blogger account yesterday, complete the DO NOW in the comment space at the bottom of today's lesson. If you were unable to, please write down your response on a piece of paper.

If you were the Emperor/Empress of an empire, would you rather rule a large empire or a small one? Why?

Task 2: We will watch this video together to get oriented to Rome. Pay close attention to details! We will be using this video to answer questions.

Task 3: Complete this video reflection form.

Task 4: There are still people who have not been able to make their Blogger account, bookmark important pages, add their contacts into their gmail or send me their first email. While I am helping Tributes get caught up on their training, all other tributes are honing their map reading skills by silently playing these geography games.

Homework: Roman Short Story #1: Hold The Wall & Questions--This assignment will not be submitted online.
