Grow Through It: Fostering Resilience & Empathy Through StorySusan Dee
Connecting couldn’t be more important than during the middle grade years when kids are deciding who they want to be; when they are discovering themselves as a unique person. A great book can be an important impetus in that formulation. Three authors of literature for children and young adults and two classroom teachers have come together to share ideas and strategies professionals can use with students to build resilience and empathy through the use of children’s literature.

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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

4. Elephant in the Room (author unknown) There's an elephant in the room. It is large and squatting, so it is hard to get around it. Yet we squeeze by with, "How are you?" and "I'm fine," and a thousand other forms of trivial chatter. We talk about the weather. We talk about work. We talk about everything else, except the elephant in the room. There's an elephant in the room. We all know it's there. We are thinking about the elephant as we talk together. It is constantly on our minds. For, you see, it is a very large elephant. It has hurt us all. But we don't talk about the elephant. Oh, please, let's talk about the elephant in the room. For if I cannot, then you are leaving me.... alone.... in a room.... with an elephant.
5. Plan for use of poem “Elephant in the Room” Students will write an essay responding to this poem. Some of the things they may want to include in the essay are as follows: Who is the speaker in this poem? What is the “elephant”? What does the elephant represent? What will be accomplished if they talk about the elephant? What are your thoughts about the mood of the poem? What elements of dialog are used in the poem? Why are the effective? How does this poem relate to Speak? Have you ever had an elephant in the room?
6. Depression Video Depression is a major theme in this book. Melinda is depressed and no one seems to notice. During the reading of this book would be a good time to address the symptoms of depression with students. The following video can be watched by the students. After the video, put students in groups of 3 to 4 students. Each group of students needs to make a list of signs of depression. Give groups about 20 minutes to make their list, then come together as a class to compare lists. After the class has made a list, students need to get back into their groups. Each group will make a flyer giving the symptoms of depression. This flyer can be shared with other students around school. http://videos.howstuffworks.com/hsw/13026-depression-teen-depression-video.htm
7. I'm Nobody! Who are You? by Emily Dickinson I'm nobody! Who are you?Are you nobody, too?Then there's a pair of us -don't tell!They'd banish us, you know. How dreary to be somebody!How public, like a frogTo tell your name the livelong dayTo an admiring bog!
8. Plan for use of poem “I’m Nobody, Who are You? Teacher and students will read this poem together. This poem describes how Melinda may have felt at times. After discussing this poem as a class, students will write a poem that describes themselves.
9. Information Sheet on Date Rape Students will read this information sheet individually. Students will then write at least two paragraphs on why it is important for boys and girls need to know about Date Rape. If teacher feels students are mature enough a classroom discussion about date rape is a possibility.
10. Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson is a book filled with many issues that could be covered in a classroom. I know that the web quest says it is for seventh graders, but personally I would not read this book with seventh graders. I think the lowest age level I would read this with is eighth graders. The reason I say this is because this book deal with depression, date rape, entering high school, and other teenage issues. Depending on your group of kids, you can explore some of these issues more deeply if you think it is appropriate.
