This Week in Seventh Grade History (August 15th-19th)

This week in seventh grade history, we'll continue with some work on primary and secondary sources and how best to analyze them. We'll also investigate Standard 7.1: Students analyze the causes and effects of the vast expansion and ultimate disintegration of the Roman Empire. 


We'll look at the strengths and contributions of Rome to history, as well as the weaknesses that led it to fall. We'll work on a map of the Empire and see its growth and borders. We'll discuss the fall of the Empire and the continuance of the Eastern half as the Byzantine Empire.

There will likely be a quiz on Friday. You will be allowed to use your composition book, but only yours.
