Renaissance/Golden Ages of Rome =**__Assignment 2__**=
 * Source:** Your notes from the Act It Out activity about pages 536-540
 * Directions:** Using your notes, answer the following questions **in your notebook**.
 * 1) Which scientific invention/discovery from the Renaissance do you think was the most important? Why? I think development of "Humanism" was very important, because Catholic Church made some activities illegal, such as dissecting dead bodies, sun is not the center of the universe. But Humanism made people to be independent thinkers and made all those dissecting, and human anatomy possible. If human anatomy wasn't developed, people have no cures of disease, how our bodies work, and etc.
 * 2) Which scientific invention/discovery from the Renaissance do you think is used most today? Explain how it is used. Microscope was invented in 1600s to 1700s, and we still use today by looking at very small micro organism, cells, and studying biology.
 * 3) Why do you think the Church forced Galileo to deny his ideas about the universe? I think church was very selfish doing that, because I think the church knew that Galileo theory was right, but they wanted the people's trust, and faith in the church to earn money. I think that because of church, we could've developed a lot faster, but we couldn't because of the churches.

Guard Room was defended by some of advanced weapons in medieval time called moats which prevents Rams from slamming the gates, and siege towers which is a large door that can be pulled from the castle to prevent the soldiers from coming inside.
 * The life in Guard Room would be boring because you have to live there, and guard. But it would take a lot of work to always be aware, and making weapons. It would be very hard to guard the castle.

 * [|explorer_map.jpg]


 * Steps:**
 * 1) You cannot do anything until you put the keynote into proper order. The pages of Stephens and Catherwood journal have fallen out of order during their journey. Use a piece of scrap paper to make notes, read through all the slides, look at the list of explorer journal entries, and drag the slides into proper order.
 * 2) Now that you know the proper order of their journey you need to place all relevant landmarks from the explorer map provided onto your scribble map (see instructions below).
 * 3) Following clues from the journal, draw each expedition route in the proper colour.
 * 4) Complete the Keynote journal presentation by changing the theme, fonts, background, etc. and adding one appropriate image to each page.

__**Directions for Map**__
 * Using the map of the explorer map of the Yucatan Peninsula above, place all cities and ruins onto your scribble map.
 * Differentiate between a city and ruin by your choice of marker.
 * **Use 50% size for your markers** or the map will become too crowded.
 * Be sure that the lines you draw to label each expedition are in the proper colour (see legend on map provided).

__**Journal Keynote Presentation**__
 * Make sure that the slides are in proper chronological order and divided by expeditions (use the colours to help you).
 * Change the theme, backgrounds, fonts, etc. to visuals appropriate for the purpose and audience.
 * Add one suitable image to each slide.
 * Create an annotated bibliography at the end of your journal. Properly cite the image that you have used and then briefly (one or two sentences) explain why your image “fits” with the journal entry.

It might be hard to know the truth since they have belived this for so many years, but it has to be destroyed, and this is it. "THERE IS ONLY 1 GOD".

Assignment 10 Political: Rome had Empire, which the soldiers only had loyalty to their own General, (which might be the emperor) and the soldiers and the Generals fought against each other, and that was one of the problems why Rome collapsed. An empire lasted about 50 years. A emperor called Diocletian came, and helped Rome of Economical problems, and who cut Rome is to half part, because of the largeness of the land they've conquered. Empire was too big, and too many people were attacking it. Some emperor were crazy, and constant conflict between consuls, senates, and emperor. Hard to communicate over the provinces. Social: The Plebians and the Patricians gap were too large. Citizens rebelled about the gap. Because of this, their was a hard time about getting foods, ingredients, materials, and etc. And because the Rome expanded, Barbarians had a lot of chance to attack the other lands that Rome has conquered. (Because it was soooo BIG) Generals also fought. Economic: Rome couldn't trade with other countries, Roman money lost it's value, and prices of the Roman food increased, which made the plebians very mad, and unhappy. (Also the Romans) Also, Emperor called Diocletian helped on Rome about the taxes of money, the tradings, and what's fair on what food, clothes, and etc. Barbarians attacked, and it was hard for Rome to survive.

Step 4:** Comprehension Questions - Answer these questions using information from the presentations and/or the pdf files of each historical figure. //1.// //How// //did expansion of the Roman Republic affect people's lives? There were different opinion that bothered them, such as growing expansion of Rome would help because they would get rich, or it will not help, because we need to pay them, take care of poor, and other country might attack us, and etc. But, I think it hurt the Rome, because Rome was first rich, but as it expands, they get to take more care for the foreigners that they have conquered, they have to protect all the lands that they conquered, people can rebel, too much gap between poor and rich.// //2. Which historical figure(s) believed most strongly that the military expansion of the Roman Republic helped Rome? Why? Julius Caesar, because he wanted the power, getting richer, expanding. And his ideas were the most main reason, and he was a high-powered person, so I think he wanted the most for the Rome to expand, so he can have more power.// //3. Which historical figure(s) believed most strongly that the military expansion of the Roman Republic hurt Rome? Why? Cicero, because his points for "hurting rome for expanding" was the most reasonable, and he really wanted the rome to not expand anymore by his points, and he strongly believe it by using his knowledge on this situation.// //4. How might the military expansion of the Roman Republic have led to the rise of Roman emperors? The Roman empire might have fall by the rebel from the poor citizens, because there was too many poor citizens, and too much gap for them to take it. They might have been also attacked by the other countries, since they could attack anywhere they want because it's so big.// //5. Why is it important to analyze a variety of perspectives when studying an event like the expansion of the Roman Republic? Because we could solve it when ever this kind of situation happen.//
