 * =Brief Summary of Unit= ||
 * Welcome to the Roman Empire! This is the world of Julius Caesar, the gladiators, and the Colosseum. Students will learn about the different people groups that made up the Empire and how they fit into Roman society. Continuing on their journey, students will get to experience a Senatorial debate with the rest of their classmates. Through out the unit, we will explore the different levels of Roman society and Roman culture as a whole. Once we have looked at the past we will take a look at the present and see where the culture of the United States is the same as the culture of Ancient Rome. Students will see how things we percieve as modern are truely ideas from the past. Past and present will collide for students and the Roman Empire will leave the pages of their books and be brought into their lives. ||
