Oct. 4/5

Journal Entry:
What is the difference between a patrician, a plebeian and a slave in ancient Rome?

Current Event:
What is your opinion of the Presidential Debates?

We finished our notes on The Republic.  We discussed Julius Caesar's rise to power and death and then the transition to the emperor Octavian Augustus.  If you missed class, take notes on this powerpoint titled Rome--Republic to Empire.

We discussed whether Julius Caesar was a tyrant or a hero.

Homework:
5th Period (only): Please click on this link to the reading "Octavian Becomes Emperor."  You do not need to print off the article.  You can answer the questions at the bottom of the article on a separate sheet of paper.  Due Oct. 8th (next class).
