Day 33: Rome Final Review (10/19/12)

Standards:
7.1.1 Study the early strengths and lasting contributions of Rome...

7.1.2 Discuss the geographic borders of the empire at its height and the factors that threatened its territorial cohesion.

7.1.3. Describe the establishment by Constantine of the new capital in Constantinople and the development of the Byzantine Empire, with an emphasis on the consequences of the development of two distinct European civilizations, Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic, and their two distinct views on church-state relations.


ANNOUNCEMENT:


Our Final on Rome identified many students’ areas for growth. So, we spent Friday going through the exam, question by question. Taking apart questions, explaining the problems, clarifying for each other (teammate to teammate!) not only why the right answer is indeed right, but also why the wrong answers are wrong!

Some homerooms even spent extra time, devoting their lunches or “Read Baby Read!” time to engaging with the material, working hard to grow their brains, learn from their failures, and prepare for next week’s retake exam.

Homework: Take these same techniques we used in class to break down the second half of your exam. You are encouraged to use the Internet, your teammates, and email or text me.
