This week in Social Studies, we will begin our study of the fall of the Roman empire. The collapse of Rome launched Europe into the Middle Ages, and forced many people into the socio-economic system called Feudalism. This time period also brought many new people and tribes into Europe (what we call the "barbarian" invasions), and with them they brought many new innovations and ideas. After the fall of Rome, Europe was never the same again.
We will be learning about this topic using a variety of different sources, including videos, websites, textbook, an article and a song! Students will record their learning on a special packet C-Notes that have been set up as "guided" notes. Most of this work will be done in class, but if a student misses class, they should be able to make up the work at home. On the right side of this page, there is a set of links under "Fall of Rome" links that will take you to most of the resources in the notes.
Here is a breakdown of the week:
Monday: Fall of Rome Pre-Test
Tuesday: BrainPOP video (C-Notes)
Wednesday: Mr. Giotto's website & Scavenger Hunt (C-Notes)
Thursday - Friday: History Alive Section 1.2 (C-Notes)
