Homework for Wednesday

Tonight you have three things to work on.

1) You have a test on Monday, 10/22. It will cover chapters 7-11 inclusive. 70 Multiple Choice questions. We will play a review game in class tomorrow.

2) Your dialog between philosophers at Starbucks is to be finished by midnight on Friday.  You will have some time in class on Friday to work on it, but not the full period.

3) Tonight you are to go to the website: www.womenintheancientworld.com.  Once there, in the section on Rome, read the selections under marriage and divorce to get a sense of the role of women in the Roman empire.  Given what you read, and what we saw in class, write on your blog whether or not your image of the Roman Empire is positive or negative?  What shaped your opinion? How does the perspective of the subjects impact your thoughts?

The videos we watched in class today were called Frontline: From Jesus to Christ, and Roman City with David Macaulay.  The former can be seen in its entirety on Frontline's website (just type the title into the search) and the latter is available on Youtube.  Both are linked.
