Book 1 Lecture 5

Lecture, Book 1, Section 5


Test today will be only essays.


With the test, we will do an assignment to learn note card use. Students will be assigned partners. Each pair of students will have 12 index cards. They will write on these cards topics from the board, in random order (below is correct order, teacher needs to make order random):
Stud
Troy and Aeneas
Etruscans
Republic
Caesar
Empire
Jesus
Destruction of the Temple
Persecutions
Constantine
Division of the Empire
Barbarian invasions
Fall of Rome

Students will use their book to write one to three notes for each card, in one color pen. They will also put the cards in order and put numbers on them.

This should take about 40 minutes, students should be advised to use no more than about 3 minutes per card.

Students then take a short break and take the essay test, which should consume about 40 minutes (20 per essay for middle school, 10 per essay for high school).

Students then create a new set of cards with correct numbers for order and a new color ink and write notes from the lecture.
