Week of 10/9 - 10/11

This short week in social studies, students will be continuing to learn about the circumstances that led to the fall of the Roman empire.  Students are filling out a C-Note packet that uses a variety of sources.  We will start the week by watching a short song video about the Fall of Rome (link on the right side of this page).  Next, we will read an article that goes into more detail about the invasions of the empire by the "barbarian" tribes.  This article can be found in the "Middle Ages Articles" link on the right side of the page. 

Quick reminder . . . don't forget that Thursday of this week is a grading day for teachers!  That means Midterm progress reports.  Students who want to improve their grades prior to these progress reports will need to turn in late work by Wednesday.

Now, here is the weekly breakdown:

• Monday: Fall of Rome song & C-Notes.
• (also, Monday will be a chance to catch up or complete any incomplete notes)

•  Tuesday & Wednesday: "Background: The Invasions" Article and C-Notes

• Homework: COMPLETE Fall of Rome Multimedia Source C-Note Packet 
• Due Monday 10/16
