Circle: Where do you see yourself 10 years from now? Living where, job, family, lots of cats.....
End of Something: Why is this story important? Why does it matter? Messy writing.
Presentations: We will be using some time in class to do final preparations and then moving down to the presentation rooms off the cafeteria.
Practice Presentation Checklist
1. With your group, decide on the one reason that Rome fell that you will be responsible for.
2. Figure out what happened -- be able to describe the reason you have.
3. Figure out why it was bad. Be able to explain how it contributed to Rome's fall.
4. Find a modern equivalent with a news article. What's happening now that's similar? Determine if you news source is trustworthy. Remember Football DBQ questions, POV, etc.
5. Figure out how this thing that's happening now is bad for the US. How does it make us weaker.
6. Determine whether the US is headed for a fall.
7. Finally, construct a presentation that accurately tells the audience how and why Rome fell, similarities to what is happening here in the USA, and if you believe that America is in slow decline similar to Rome or if it isn't. This should be a heartfelt explanation of if they think America is heading down the same path as Rome or not.
