Why the Fall?

On separate paper, write a paragraph of at least 8 sentences that name the factors that contributed to the fall of the Western Roman Empire.  Students may use their books.  Double-space the paragraph, and it should be in the students own words even though they may refer to the text.  This will be an additional grade for the quarter's grading purposes.

Activities and Lesson 16

Using the photocopy of map 7 - East Asia from page 517, do exercise 2, parts a and b on page 77.

Using page 78 as a review, write down either a "famous phrase" that person said when they were alive or could have said.  It doesn't have to be something documented though it could be.  You may use your book!  This is a fun way to review these historical people we have studied so far.

Finally, read lesson 16, "The Maya."

Quiz and Activity

Take the written quiz on page 63.  We have been reviewing every week, including today, so they should be plenty ready for this quiz.  The only name they seemed foggy about was Emporor Trajan, from lesson 5.  Neither books nor helps should be used during the quiz, but they may review ahead of time prior to seeing the quiz.

Remember our field trip on Thursday, promptly at 11:00 at 401 Scott Street downtown.  I learned that the tour will last about 30 minutes.

Do activity #1 under 13B at the very top of page 67.  We will read  Lesson 13 in class on Friday since we have the field trip, so no history reading this week.
