The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
1. Accomplishment
April
7 Grade
th
Accomplishment- To achieve one’s goals; finish wholly; to complete.
Purpose: This lesson helps students celebrate the accomplishments of self, family, neighbors,
school, pets, neighborhoods & communities.
Materials: 1 Copy of Learn from Life’s Hard Knocks cut into paragraphs, 10 copies of Success
or Failure? Worksheet, stopwatch/clock
Introduction: the teacher will introduce the word of the month & share the definition
Activity: The teacher will put the class into a circle. Each student will have to snap, clap, &
stomp in a wave.
Example: 1st student in circle will snap, clap, stomp & then the person to their right will do this
immediately after & so on…….until it has gone around the entire circle. The goal is to increase
speed with each run. The clock will start when the first kid snaps, claps, & stomps and the next
kid goes and see how fast you can get it around the circle. Stop the clock when the last kid
stomps. After a couple of runs….ask students to set a goal of how fast they think they can get
around the circle. Give them a couple of chances to reach their goal.
Questions: The teacher will ask….
1. What did the game have to do with our word of the month: Accomplishment?
2. Did you accomplish your goal? How did that make you feel?
3. Did you get faster with every try?
4. Do you think it is normal to fail a couple of times before you accomplish a
goal?
Discussion: The teacher will ask….
1. Do you want to succeed in life?
2. How many of you have written this life goal: "By 30 years of age I want to be a complete
failure?" (Leader: be prepared for some to raise their hands just to be funny. The
following transition will help you recover.)
Activity 1:
1. The teacher will ask students to think of 5 accomplishments that they would like to set for
themselves in the next 10 years.
• Finish school
• Be on a sports team, etc..
• Jobs
• Relationships/family
2. 2. The teacher will share some of their personal goals with the class that they have set for
themselves. They will also share some accomplishments that you have achieved!!
3. The teacher will have students share some of their goals they have set for themselves and
explain that they will all share more at the end of the lesson.
The teacher will explain the following (DON’T READ WORD FOR WORD):
But many people are flunking out in life. Many fail simply because they fail to endure through
the hard times. You see, whether you’re talking about the accomplished people in business,
acting, music, or relationships, the great misconception is that they were just incredibly talented
from the start and got there by merrily skipping from one success to another.
Activity 2:
Are accomplishments always easy to achieve? In order to accomplish something, you almost
always have to learn from your mistakes.
Split students into groups of 5 & hand each group a Success/Failure Worksheet:
Tell students to read the statements about each person (these are all real people), & decide
whether you think the person was a success or failure in his field. Write either the letter "F" for
failure, or "S" for success before each one.
**The teacher will go over the worksheet and ask students what they thought. There really is no
right answer because the examples all failed & succeeded.
Activity 3
Ask for 4 volunteers to read the story about George Lucas Learn from Life’s Hard Knocks.
After reading the story the teacher will ask:
1. What tragedy did Mr. Lucas endure?
2. Did this tragedy motivate him to be a better person? Explain.
3. What is Mr. Lucas’ well-known accomplishment?
The teacher will then explain: You can become either "bitter" or "better" from tragedies. And
the only difference between these two words is the letter "i". "I" have the choice as to whether to
grow or wither from my tragedies.
Conclusion:
The teacher will ask the students to think back at your list of accomplishments/goals that you
want to achieve within the next 10 years.
• Ask students to share more of their accomplishments that they want to achieve & the
goals that they need to set for themselves.
• Announce that they have now accomplished their last character education lesson plan for
the year…..
3. Learn from Life’s Hard Knocks.
Any one who has seen the Star Wars series or the Indiana Jones trilogy knows the
incredible excitement that producer George Lucas can pack into a movie. But it’s
doubtful that Lucas would have made anything at all out of his life, had he not first
given up his old dreams. You see, during his teen years, a lot of people considered
him a loser who was going nowhere in life. He never applied himself in school and
dreamed only about racing cars. But his dreams all ended just a few days before his
graduation.
While driving home from the library in his Fiat, he prepared for a left turn by
glancing in his rearview mirror. But as he started the turn, he heard the sound of
another car, a blowing horn, and the impact of speeding Chevy crunching into the
driver side of his car. It should have killed him. The little Fiat turned four or five
complete flips before it wrapped around a solid oak tree. The impact was so great
that it actually moved the entire tree a couple of feet over, leaving a huge hole in
its former position.
But miraculously, George survived. Get this: during the Fiat’s third flip, his
regulation racing seat belt snapped, throwing him out of the open top and onto the
ground. He was close to death, but recovered slowly through two weeks in the
hospital and months of physical therapy. His Fiat didn’t survive, ending up in the
junkyard.
After the accident, George was a changed person. He decided there must be some
reason he survived, and set his mind to get his act together and make something
out of his life. He left his racing dreams behind and decided to go to college.
There, he developed an interest in literature and writing. And instead of driving
racecars, he began filming them. Today, he’s glad for his decision to let his old life
and his old dreams die, so that he could go a new direction. You see, without
giving up his old life, he would have never found his niche in the film industry,
and no one would have ever seen Star Wars.
4. SUCCESS OR FAILURE?
____ Politician: Ran for political office seven times and was defeated each time.
____ Cartoonist: All he wanted to do was to sketch cartoons. He applied with a Kansas
City newspaper. The editor said, "It’s easy to see from these sketches that you have no
talent." No studio would give him a job. He ended up doing publicity work for a church in
an old, dilapidated garage.
____ Writer: His first children’s book was rejected by 23 publishers.
____ Inventor: In the first year of marketing his new soft drink, he sold only 400 bottles.
____ Actor: He went to Hollywood as an 18 year old, and after a couple of parts was
unemployed for two years. As he ran out of money, he sold off his sectional couch, one
section at a time, and lived on macaroni. He had no phone. His office was a phone booth at
Pioneer Chicken.
____ Athlete: As a baseball player, he struck out more than any player in the history of
baseball: 1,330 times.
____ Politician: Flunked the sixth grade. As a sixteen-year-old in Paris, a teacher had
written on his report card, "Shows a conspicuous lack of success." He wished to become a
military leader, or a great statesman. As a student, he failed three times in his exams to enter
the British Military Academy.
____ Athlete: As a high school student, he felt so unpopular with the girls that he thought
he might never be able to find a wife. That's why he took a cooking class. He thought he
might never have anyone to cook for him.
5. Answers to worksheet:
1. Would you have given up on politics if you had been defeated 7 times in your run for political
office? Any guesses as to who it was? I’m glad that Abraham Lincoln didn’t give up. He was
defeated for legislature, defeated for speaker, defeated for nomination to Congress, defeated for
Senate, defeated for nomination to Vice Presidency, defeated again for Senate. Yet he hung in
there and succeeded in becoming the 16th, and one of the most respected, presidents of the United
States.
2. And what about the cartoonist whom no one would hire? The one who was told that he had no
talent? The old garage he worked in was in such bad shape that it had mice. One day, he
sketched one of those mice. Any guesses as to the name of that mouse? The mouse one day
became famous as "Mickey Mouse." The artist, of course, was Walt Disney.
3. The writer whose children’s book was rejected by 23 publishers? Take a wild guess…. Dr.
Seuss. By the way, the 24th publisher sold six million copies.
4. The soft drink that sold only 400 bottles its first year? Coca Cola.
5. The 18-year-old actor who couldn’t land a part for two years and lived off macaroni? He
finally got a part with a popular, long-running show called "Family Ties." I’m glad he didn’t give
up. Can you imagine "Back to the Future" without Michael J. Fox?
6. The baseball player who held the strike-out record? He also held, for many years, the home
run record. His name is Babe Ruth.
7. The student who showed a "conspicuous lack of success" on his report card? Who failed three
times to enter the British Military Academy? Many of us would have given up after one
rejection. But Winston Churchill stubbornly refused to accept defeat and became one of the
greatest men of the 20th Century. Though he was rejected many times by the voters of Great
Britain, he finally became the Prime Minister, standing between Hitler and the free world.
8. The athlete who was so unpopular with the girls that he took a cooking class in case he never
found a wife? The one who was cut from the Varsity team his sophomore year? The cut may
have been the best thing that ever happened to him. Angry and embarrassed, he began to get up
early each morning to practice with the Junior Varsity coach. Eventually he not only made the
Varsity team, but became the most popular athlete in the world: Michael Jordan. (Sports
