Geography Challenge (Rome)
Good Thursday to you all. Today students worked on the Geography Challenge for Rome. This activity is an introduction to the geography of the Italian Peninsula and surrounding area as we enter our work with Rome. We will not be doing an intense Roman unit at this time but will focus on Christianity and its spread in the period. We will come back to legacies and other important Roman contributions at a later date. We also finished the video clip featuring Arizona Smith and his conversations on Rome. I hope to push out a video clip tonight to be viewed sometime before Monday, if possible. I will put it out as an assignment so you all should get a notification of that event. Just click the "turn in" button after you have viewed it. If there are any instructions that go with the video, it will be on the post.
