Abstract
Rome (as an empire and republic0 is a civilization that many students know
of, even in the smallest increments, and this course pack seeks to touch on some of
significant events that occurred during the existence of this civilization. In particular,
these lesson focus of Rome’s trajectory from its small beginnings to a major world power
and, eventually, an empire. Students will investigate, through primary and secondary
sources, how Rome and its people understood its development and the impact it had in the
years to come. Students will be challenged with contrasting points of view about famous
figures, and different accounts of events in order to develop skills to assess and organize
history written by its people. They will use secondary sources and discussions with
classmates and teacher to unpack the primary sources and evaluate how these works
contribute to people’s understanding of these events and where to place them on the world
stage. Topics of study include: the roman mythologies, the Punic wars, Julius Caesar, and
the second triumvirate. Each topic focuses on at least one aspect of historical thinking to
guide student thinking as they delve into these historical topics.
