Sept. 9, 10 and 13

Thursday: Students checked out textbooks to take home. There was a homework assignment (Chapter 2 reading guide and book intro).

Friday: We watched a short dvd segment about Rome from the History Channel's "Engineering an Empire" series. A map was assigned to be completed over the weekend. Students continued to work on their Photoshop montages.

Monday: We discussed the legend surrounding the founding of Rome (Romulus and Remus). We watched a 10 minute segment of Engineering an Empire. Students had time to finish their Photoshop assignment and/or create a key for the map that was assigned on Friday. The current packet of work will be due on Friday. Here is a list so far:

1. Get to Know your Social Studies Text
2. Rome: Republic to Empire map/timeline
3. Chapter 2 reading guide/book intro (homework)
4. Rome 117 A.D. Map (Homework)
5. Engineering an Empire I
