1 Lesson by: Cliff Hannon Lesson: Decline of Rome and the Rise of the Empire Twitter PBL Length: Four 45 minute periods Grade Intended: World History and Civilization Academic Standards: WH.2.9 Describe Roman Republican government and society and trace the changes that culminated in the end of the Republic and the beginning of the Roman Empire. (History, Government, Sociology) Performance Objectives: Students will create/present a Twitter Timeline detailing the events of the beginning of the Roman Empire from different important actor s viewpoints using teacher provided biographies with an 80% score on a teacher created rubric. Assessment: Students will be assessed through a number of different ways. Weekly Bell Work quizzes and daily exit tickets will provide consistent and immediate assessment over the student s grasping of the material. The final assessment will come after the students have presented their Twitter Timeline to the class. The teacher will assess the student using a teacher created rubric that clearly outlines the expectations for the project. The final Twitter Timeline and the presentation of the Timeline should show that the student has a firm understanding of the events that changed Rome from a Republic to an Empire. Advanced Preparation for Teachers: 1. Introductory PowerPoint 2. Clips from Ancient Rome: The Rise and Fall of an Empire Revolution 3. Twitter Project Directions 4. Twitter Project Rubric 5. Biographies by 17 paper 7. Craft Materials (Colored Pencils, Markers, etc.) Procedures: Introduction/Motivation: After Bell Work, students will begin by working in their small groups to complete a list of possible positives and negatives that would come to Rome following the Punic and Hellenistic Wars (Bloom Evaluation) (Gardner Interpersonal). We will then come together as a whole class and create a class wide T-chart using the lists that the small groups created (Gardner Visual).

2 Step-by-Step Plan: Day 1 1. Students will then watch the first 15 minutes of Ancient Rome: The Rise and Fall of an Empire Revolution. 2. Throughout the video, students should add negatives that see in the Roman Republic to their T-chart. 3. Take breaks in the video to discuss the appearance of different negatives that the students created on their list. Some negatives that the students should be able to see are a military spread thin, a corrupt government bureaucracy, massive economic divide, urban unemployment, slavery, and the problems of the Latifundia system. 4. Go through the first 4 slides of the Decline of Rome PowerPoint. Students should take notes in their binder. 5. End the first period with an Exit Ticket asking the following questions a. What are the positives that the Roman Republic gained from the Punic and Hellenistic Wars? (Bloom Knowledge) b. What are the 3 problems that led to the decline of the Roman Republic? (Bloom Knowledge) Day 2 1. Begin with Bell Work. 2. Finish going through the Decline of Rome PowerPoint. 3. Ask students, Who has a Twitter? 4. Read through the instructions and rubric of the Rise of the Republic Twitter Timeline Project (Bloom Synthesis) (Gardner Linguistic, Visual). 5. Give a brief, exciting introduction to each of the historical figures the students can choose from. 6. Students should then pick their biography and grab necessary materials. 7. Allow the remainder of the period for students to work independently. Students should be reading their figure s biography and planning their Timeline. 8. Exit Ticket a. What was the goal of the reforms purposed by Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus? (Bloom Knowledge) b. What did the massive population of slaves in the Roman Republic cause? (Bloom Knowledge) Day 3 1. Allow the full period for student work (Gardner Intrapersonal). 2. Teacher should be actively walking around assisting students and grading student s effort by making notes in the grade book. Day 4 1. Students will spend the period presenting individually as teacher grades their presentation using the rubric.

3 Closure: Have students turn in their Twitter Timelines before they leave the room. Introduce tomorrow s lesson in which we will discuss different Emperors of Rome and the Pax Romana, or Roman Peace. Adaptations/Enrichment: Students with Reading LDs: For students with Learning Disabilities the teacher should do everything possible to reduce the literacy requirement for the student. The student should be provided with a biography of a historical figure that matcheds the student s Lexile level. The teacher should also work individually with the student to go through the biography and help the student to dissect the information. Students that are High Ability: The teacher should provide biography material that will challenge the students Lexile reading level. For enrichment, students who are high ability and fast finishers can supplement their Timeline with independent research to enhance their presentation.

4 Rise of the Empire Twitter Project Name Period Objective: Students will use their book and the biography of a famous person during the rise of the Roman Empire to create a satirical Twitter page that tells the involvement of that person in the rise of the Empire. Students will then present their Twitter page to the class. Procedure: 1. Students will select the person they want to study: Julius Caesar, Crassus, Pompey, Augustus Caesar (Octavian), Mark Antony, or Cleopatra. 2. Students will then have 2 days to create a satirical Twitter account using facts from the biography and their book to make 10 Tweets for their famous person s Timeline. 3. Students should be creative with their Tweets, and pay close detail to the neatness and presentation of their page. 4. Students will then present the Twitter page poster to the class with a quick (1-2 minute) presentation explaining the Tweets they added to their Timeline and the importance of the person in the rise of the Empire. Checklist: I. Twitter Page 1. Picture (Either drawn or printed off the internet) 2. Personal Description 3. Creative Twitter name Tweets on Timeline 5. Creative writing of Tweets, hashtags, and Twitter names 6. Neatness II. Presentation 1. Explanation of each Tweet and the event that it correlates with 2. Explanation of the person s importance III. Full name and period in the upper right hand corner on the back You will be graded using the rubric on the back
