how the Roman Empire came to be

Let's roam into Rome.  (heh heh)

First, read p. 90-94.  That will cover LO-1 City-State and Empire: The Roman Republic.

Then, write a paragraph that describes life in ancient Rome.  You can choose to write about Roman government, or Roman society, or the basic Roman family.  You will need to use some of these terms to write an informed paragraph:  patricians, plebeians, Republic, Senate, consuls, dictators, tribunes, client, patron, matron, pontiff, and pater familias.

You will spend the second half of class reading LO-1, and writing this paragraph; what you don't complete in class will be homework.  This paragraph will be posted to your blog, and, as with all other postings, is due before midnight tonight.
