In this 8-week course we will use a podcast to get an intermediate understanding of the Early Roman Republic Era
Class experience
US Grade 6 - 9
Intermediate Level
Between each session, students will listen and take notes on four episodes( each about ~15 minutes long) of an award-winning history podcast called the "History of Rome" by Mike Duncan. We will meet in class and talk about what has transpired in Roman history and I will ask questions that get students thinking about how these things connect to today as well as to their lives. --First class - We will talk about how the class will work and then ask students what they know about Ancient Rome...
Students will improve their understanding of the Roman Republic and how they came to dominate the Western Mediterranean. We will also learn about Roman culture and lessons we can learn from history to help us in daily life and beyond.
I love History and love to help students become interested in it!
Homework Offered
Unless your student has a disability that keeps them from doing it, the homework for this class is a requirement to continue on with it. If homework is missed more than one time your student will be withdrawn and your money will not be refunded. Each recording is about ~15 minutes long. Classes meet once a week and they will be listening to an average of 5 recordings between each class so this should take about 1 hour of total time each week.1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
We will have weekly reviews of material learned and students will be asked to talk about what they learned. We will also have a final assignment where students are asked to create a podcast or video explaining one of the events we learned about in the course and how it ties into the rest of the material.Grades Offered
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
This class will detail parts of the Roman holiday of Saturnalia which the later Romans decided to make the same day as Christmas. It is not seeking to subvert the Christian ideas of Biblical Christmas just to show how what became the holiday Christmas is based in part on Saturnalia. There is also an occasional swear word but it is not common and usually a direct quote/translation from someone in Roman history. If this is concerning the recordings can be provided with edits.
