Tuesday, September 29, 2009 - Rome & the USA

Today we:

  • Introduced the Roman Republic through group work on the Roman Republic activity/homework (some of you over-achievers even got started on the Roman Military homework that's not due until next week).
  • Journal entry: What is an Empire?
  • Read the journal article, "Is America an Empire?" and had a marvelous discussion/debate on the issue.
  • Introduced the Tic Tac Toe Choice Project & handed out grids (scoring guides on the back).
  • You were challenged to watch the news tonight while keeping the question of the day in mind: is America an Empire?
