Rome Project -Tweaked

Welcome back after a quick 2 days,

  1. We are tweaking our project process a little.
  2. We are going to break out into groups. The groups will be based on what you don't understand about the Roman Empire. One group for the Fall of Rome, another group for the strengths or lasting contributions. 
  3. Fall of Rome your project must include:its ultimate internal weaknesses (eg rise of autonomous military powers within the empire, undermining of citizenship by the growth of corruption and slavery, lack of education, and distribution of news).
  4. Strengths of Rome your project must include: the early strengths and lasting contributions of Rome (eg significance of Roman citizenship; rights under Roman law; Roman art, architecture, engineering, and philosophy; preservation and transmission of Christianity)
  5. After you've written down your groups project idea. Your group will create a list of things you need to do to complete the project. For example if you want to make a movie- you need to break it down to smaller chunks: Research for the script, write the script, find actors, design costumes and set, film, and edit. Each item needs to go on a post-it note.
  6. Add how much time in minutes and who will work on the task it will take your group to complete each item: For example Film movie -30minutes (Joe as Cameraman), Edit 55minutes (Sally&Suzy as editors).
  7. HOMEWORK: Describe how your project will prove to Mr. Scott you have learned the material. Write this in your Interactive Notebook.
