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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. Access to high quality early language
and literacy experiences will enhance
young children’s development
(International Reading Association,
2005).
In order for student to develop as a
whole, a positive environment must be
created that foster learning and
appropriate practices that encourages
student development (Laureate
Education Inc., 2010a).

II. Selecting appropriate Texts
III. The Interactive Perspective
IV. The Critical and Response Perspective
4. Through research based practice I am provided with the insight of the importance of
teachers learning their students and their interests. It is important for teachers to
understand the motivation or lack of motivation a student possesses toward reading.
Elementary Reading Attitude Survey (ERAS)
measures two aspects of reading attitude: recreational reading and academic reading.
This would be a useful tool to learn more about these students’ literacy
autobiographies.
Interest Reading Survey
help a teacher figure out what his or her students are thinking, what they may want or
even need, and how they can best be helped (Duffy, 2003).
Word Recognition Test
After discovering students’ level of motivation for reading a word recognition test can
be administered to determine the difficulty level of reading passages the students will
be asked to read.
If more than half of the words in the Word Recognition test are recognizable by
students a Running Record (RR) can be administered.
5. “Students’ motivation and engagement affect their success in
reading and writing, therefore it is important that teachers
learn about their students and work to ensure that they are
motivated and have positive attitudes about literacy”
(Tompkins, 2010 p. 280).
These types of assessments "provides details about student’s
reading abilities in relation to a specific grade level”
(Afflerbach, 2007, p. 47).
6. After determining students’ cognitive and non-cognitive
aspects of literacy learning, teachers may begin to select the
appropriate texts to accommodate the needs of each student.
When choosing texts, it is important to determine whether or
not it is applicable for students. Small details significantly
matter when determining students’ ability to comprehend a
book. Some students prefer large print which seems to make
the text easier to read in comparison to smaller print which
seems to make text more difficult to read (Laureate,
Education, Inc., 2010b).
Choosing the appropriate length of the text and the text
structure will greatly increase students’ readability.
It is imperative for teachers to accommodate the reading
needs of their students to better meet their educational
requirements.
7. Hartman, (Laureate, Education, Inc., 2010b), described a matrix where texts are categorized
based on three continuums; narrative to informative, linguistic to semiotic, and easy to
difficult. By using this matrix educators can be sure to balance the types of texts that they
use in the classroom.
Research determines that students who are exposed to a selection of texts at an early age
will show the development at a more rapidly rate in obtaining needed literacy skills
(Tompkins, 2010).
Using genre, text features, and text structures is vital in helping students understand how
authors organize and present ideas in their stories (Tompkins, 2010). Most reading
instruction in early literacy programs is based on narrative stories.
Author, Kathy Stephens (2008), states that exposing children to a variety of informational
text will stimulate development of background knowledge, vocabulary, and comprehension
skills. Exposing students to a wide variety of text will also lead them to be proficient
readers.
8. The interactive perspective of literacy instruction involves
reading and writing accurately, fluently, and with
comprehension (Framework for Literacy Instruction, n.d.).
The teacher should foster expectations about the reading and
arouse student interest to read. This can be done by asking
warm-up questions or by giving them a purpose for reading or
listening to a story.
In this way students will enjoy learning language and develop a
positive attitude towards reading. Monitoring comprehension
includes not only activating background knowledge prior to
reading, but also active listening and questioning of students at
various points.
9. Stahl (2004) states, when children use reading strategies such as
summarizing, questioning, or activating prior knowledge they
are more likely to comprehend and remember what they read.
To be metacognitive as a learner, children must actively think about
their learning and process what they are doing (Laureate Education, Inc.,
2010c).
The five pillars of reading are: Phonics, Vocabulary, Fluency,
Comprehension, and Writing. Strategic processing must be threaded
through all five pillars (Laureate Education, 2010c) of reading.
A metacognitive learner must be able to use these five pillars in order to
further develop reading strategies on their own. The reading strategies
to develop are: Making connections, Predicting, Clarifying, Asking
questions, Visualizing, and Summarizing.
10. The Critical Perspective of literacy involves
challenging a text by considering problem-
posing questions.
The critical perspective also involves teaching
children to examine the text and who created
it (Laureate Education, Inc., 2010d). During
this time discussions can arise about the
author’s point of view, the main idea, the
genre, the setting, and other components of
the story.
11. The critical perspective of the framework for literacy instruction involves
judging, evaluating, and thinking critically about text (Framework for Literacy
Instruction, n.d.). .
Critical literacy focuses on issues of power and promotes reflection,
transformation, and action (Molden, 2007).
Critical literacy encourages readers to be active participants in the reading
process: to question, to dispute, and to examine power relations (Molden,
2007).
The critical perspective also involves teaching children to examine the text
and who created it (Laureate Education, Inc., 2010d).
Young children need to engaged in meaningful academic content and build
on prior learning (National Association for the Education of Young Children,
1998).
12.
The response perspective provides students
with opportunities to experience texts in a
personal and emotional way (Laureate,
Education, Inc., 2010e).
