Friday for Eighth Grade History

Remember you have a quiz tomorrow and you have to be ready to do your presentations! Yes, you can use your composition books on your quiz. Make sure they are complete and up-to-date.

Below is an example of the kind of presentation that gets a good grade. This example is on a seventh grade topic. Sorry, you can't do this topic tomorrow.

The decline in morals and values was the most important reason for the Fall of Rome. Romans used to value ideals like honor and courage and integrity, but they began to focus on only themselves and disregarded honor and the other ideals. This contributed in a major way to Rome's Fall because if they still valued honor and courage they might have been able to face and solve the other problems they had.  Unfortunately they did not and their problems proved to be too much for them and Rome fell, never to rise again.
