Each one of you will be assigned one of the imperial figures from the Home page to study. Throughout the year, you will work on a variety of projects, becoming an ''expert'' on your figure, expanding your knowledge of the history of the Roman Empire, and learning and practicing some useful research and technology skills. On the Home page are the celebrities of imperial Rome.
Project 1 --Due Friday, January 11: Researched Power Point Presentation
Project 2 --Due Tuesday, April 16: Web site on Daily Life in Ancient Rome
Project 3 --Due Friday, May 31: Historical Fiction
You will be responsible for your own character and six others of your choice on the final exam, so pay attention to othersŐ work and check out our web site often.
Two of you each week will be responsible for researching small topics about life in ancient Rome. Many of these will be seen as we read the historical murder mystery Ides of April by Mary Ray. These presentations may be in any form you choose, and should be considered informal. They should be brief and to the point. You should have visual resources whenever possible. Ultimately, you will be adding your research to the web site so that everyone will be able to access it, so you must digitize your pictures and word process your research. You will all use this research as background information to complete your final writing project on your imperial figure.
