Ancient Rome

9th grade studied Ancient Rome especially focusing on why Rome fell. Many point to similarities between America today and Ancient Rome. We discussed the similarities in politics and culture, and how history affects how we see the news today. We also created long timelines that are taller than some of the freshmen. We will continue to add to them as the year goes on so students can begin to view history spatially. This will help students understand that while the Zhou dynasty is in power in China, Athens is experiencing its golden age under Pericles. Seeing that visually will cause students to begin to see how events and people across time and place affect each other.
