7th Grade Roman Hall of FameOur 7th Grade historians recently finished presenting their impressive Roman Cultural Hall of Fame projects! In doing so, they chose an aspect of Roman culture and argued that it deserves consideration for a prospective Roman Cultural Hall of Fame. To do so, they needed to prove that it met three important class-generated criteria:
- The nominee must be original or unique at its time. - The nominee must create a significant change or impact in its society and be recognized for that. - The nominee’s impact must go beyond its time and carry over for future generations. All students were responsible for the creation of a Google Slides presentation introducing their nominee. From there, they had some freedom in choosing how to demonstrate that it fit the criteria. Follow the links to see their work! You’ll probably learn something new! Click here to view an index of their projects! Usborne BooksFamilies can purchase books through Usborne and give back to HT. Browse the full selection of books online here. (Any orders placed through this link will help earn 50% back in free book rewards for the school as well, as soon as it hits a minimum of $250 in sales).
