We will be learning about how Augustus went from being a little known Roman to becoming the first Roman emperor and his role in the transition from Republic to Empire. This class is another edition of my Great Leader Series, more to come!

Class experience

US Grade 5 - 8
Hello! I’m Sondra Rapoport, your friendly neighborhood Roman Historian. I taught with Harvard University's Dept of Classics for 6 years as a Head Teaching Fellow. I was privileged to teach the popular and historic The Rome of Augustus for which I was nominated for the Levenson Teaching Award and won awards for distinction in teaching each semester I taught with Harvard. Now, I homeschool my son and I greatly enjoy adapting my knowledge and classes designed for university level to each of his grade levels. 
Homework Offered
Continuing pondering Augustus and our final discussion question: Why was Augustus' style of leadership, his types of self promotion, and his imagery so often used, even today?

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
I will be speaking live to the students as well as using a wide variety of slides from my travels around the world. I welcome questions before, during, and after the class. A class that interacts with the material learns it at a deeper level and I welcome questions at any time during the class. Each class will begin with a main question or idea for the students to keep in mind, as they will see the theme reappear. The classes will all end with guided discussion based upon the main question and any interesting questions or comments. This will not be ‘dead air’ time, students will be encouraged to share their thoughts and questions. All photographs are my own.
