Today we reviewed the story of Rome. We created a timeline and I tried to help students grasp what, for example, 500 years means. For example, what is a generation, and how many of those fit into 500 years? After that we read the "Story of Rome" together as a class. I then showed you a new skill that will help us when we are writing our own paragraphs and that was identifying the main idea. We discussed that the main idea is the "point" in the paragraph and that it is usually found in the first sentence. We noted that it is the most important thought about the topic. We worked on finding the main ideas in the paragraphs of our "Story of Rome." I then gave you a chance to try it with a partner. We will continue this work next class. Group 8-2 had a chance to watch another History Makers song. The link is here. Next class we will all have a chance to see this video.
There is no homework. Enjoy your long weekend.
