Rome Essay

Today in class we had our Rome empire vs republic essay reviewed by our peers.  Then we re-edit them and will print it out again tonight and turn then in tomorrow.  Hopefully i did ok on it, I think my essay is good an should get a good grade on it.

Rome Reveiw

Today in class we studied and reviewed the main roman leaders. We will probably have a text soon.

Video

In class instead of taking notes on the computer we are taking them on paper.  I wish we still took them on the computer because it is easy to file all my notes in one spot and post them on my blog. In class we are starting to watch a video on the new government and leaders and wars since Octavian was killed.

Test

On friday we took a test. It was a little bit challenging .. but overall not bad.  Hopefully i did well on it.
