Option A
Please remember I am looking for a minimum of 650 words for your main post, in which you show your understanding of our Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs), the concepts and themes explored in the course, and how your readings relate to them. I'll be looking for you to quote or paraphrase material from the readings, lectures and/or documentaries to support your answer, which you cite using any simple style. (for example, via a footnote or something simple like (Clement, Chapter One, section 2).
Then, for this week, you get to build your own assignment. You will pick a topic related to Roman history that you find the most compelling and write about it. You can explore the City of Rome (Links to an external site.), or topics related to Ancient Rome. (Links to an external site.) (Links to an external site.)Be sure to explain why you picked your topic and identify the when, where, how, why, what data (in other words, if you pick Julius Caesar (Links to an external site.) tell us when he ruled, why he was important, what he did, how he did it, where he did the thing you are telling us about...). or perhaps you are more interested in the Empire (Links to an external site.)period? Or the "Fall (Links to an external site.)"? Roman history is full of fascinating topics and by allowing you all the freedom to choose we will receive a diverse and interesting set of entries. There are rules, of course. You may not use AI or any encyclopedias - no Wikipedia or any other type of encyclopedia is allowed. Websites ending in edu or org are usually good to use, if you don't find what you like in what I have included or the e-text.
