A Little About this Class
In this class we study the history of places around the world . We also learn about other cultures and religions .One of the funnest things we do is evaluate primary source documents ,which are documents written by people who were actually there as history unfolded right before their eyes !
Rome Simulation
In the Roman Simulation we acted out the fall of Rome . First ,the provenances traded with the leaders for military protection . Then ,one by one the barbarians destroyed each and every provenance . Finally, when the barbarians made it to the roman leaders they defeated Rome once and for all .We had a lot of fun .

The Kings M&Ms simulation
In history we had yet another simulation . This time the roles were the king ,his three lords ,who each two vassals ,and several peasants . The vassals charged tax on the peasants.Then, the lords charged tax on the vassals . Lastly, the king charged taxes on the lords .By that time the peasants ,who were left with only four M&Ms ,weren't that happy .In conclusion ,the simulation was very fun .

Titus Andronicus
|
During this activity we acted out a much shorter version of the play, Titus Andronicus .We also learned that even though Shakespeare was given all the credit for this play he may not have written the whole thing .Instead , the beginning may have been written by a friend and fellow play writer, Marlowe. The reason we believe this is because Marlowe died in a bar fight before he finished a play . So then why did Shakespeare get all the credit ??? This is because in those time whoever finished the play got the credit for it .
