Fall of Rome

Last week in Social Studies, the 7th graders picked up where they left of last year and learned about the Roman Empire at its height.  They discussed how the Roman Empire reacted to religions like Judaism and Christianity.  Then, the students learned about the reasons that the Empire came to an end.  Students are spending the first few days this week creating projects about the Fall of Rome.  Students were given a menu of projects that they could choose from.  Later this week, we will discuss the early Middle Ages.

Questions to ask your 7th grader:

• How is the Roman Empire similar to a balloon?
• Show me the video that shows the rise and fall of Rome on a map.
• Which menu product about the Fall of Rome are you working on?
