Unit 2 Reflection

1.    Describe how you prepared/studied for the unit test.

I started studying on Friday 3. December. I just opened Ms. Moore’s website; opened all of the documents and read them at least three times through. Later I tried to memorize everything and I asked my sister Theresa to come and test me. She asked me simple questions at first, but then when the questions got more difficult each time; I had to look it up on site, so I knew what I had to study for.

àa) Do you think your studying strategies were effective? Why/why not?

The strategies I use usually work, such as in Language A, French, and Math. I personally don’t really know why it does not work in humanities. Also I would like to know a better to study. Should I read through my stuff more often?

àb) How will you prepare next time?

Probably I will ask my sister or friends for better strategies. Also maybe I could come into Ms. Moore’s Room and ask her for her great advice! I hope that newer learning skills will help me.

2.     2. What was the most surprising thing you learned about during this test and Unit?

What I thought was pretty interesting was that there were multiple choice questions, and that we had to write a one world essay. I enjoyed it, but it was very surprising. Also I considered very weird; that Nero would light up “Christian Candles”.

3.   3.  If we had more time to spend on Rome & Christianity what would you want to learn more about?

I would really like to learn more about the important emperors in ancient Rome. In the end, I consider this unit as done and ready to learn a new one, that are maybe relevant to Ancient Rome and Christianity.

  

The Roman people did not want a dictator or a king. Do you think Augustus and the emperors that followed him were any different?

I think that some People such as the Senates did not want a King because they knew that he would turn out to be an egoistic and more powerful wanting person.Others wanted someone to lead the city. Such as Caesar, everyone wanted him and he was getting so powerful that the Senates knew what they had to do. They had to do, they had to kill Caesar, because he was getting to powerful and ego. Although Augustus was the other name for Caesar.

Describe the ways that Roman genius has benefited the world.

  Describe the ways that Roman genius has benefited the world.
    Provide concrete examples to support your thinking.

In my Opinion I would say that Rome has benefited the world a lot. For me this says that how they have influenced our world. Firstly because, they left many leftovers and sculptures also architecture, such as the Colosseum, and they also made many or usually sculptures of their kings or emperors as today. Secondly they also had a communication, the alphabet. It was a very intense alphabet and different letters we still have today. Such as the A, E, M, O, T. Thirdly and finally I think that
Rome also left many cultures today, such as competing in Olympics (Greece) and and making great streets.                                                   

                                                        Roman Architecture - Colosseum


                                                     

                                                               The Alphabet- Cyrillic

                                                            Olympic Games - Winter/Summer

Ancient Greece

I really enjoyed Greece, because it was interesting to learn all the different cultures, and about Alexander the Great. In Addition I thought it was fun, because we watched the Videos on "Youtube- Horrible Histories" that Alexander named over 10 cities "Alexandria". Finally I will answer our Unit Question:

"In what ways has Classical Greece influenced the modern World?"

My Answer is that we have many new and Cultures from Ancient Greece, we still have interesting Monuments, and we also still have beautiful Architecture from Pericles, etc.
