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.

Summarizing
1.
2. Summarizing: what is it?
A condensed version of what you’ve read
Written in your own words; little to no quoted material
Includes the author’s main points along with a sentence
that provides the title, author, text type, and focus (overall
main idea).
3. Summarizing: Not an EasyTask
Imagine it:You’ve just written your first summary and turned it in.You
think you did okay, but then you get back your paper with comments.
Your teacher has written one or more of the following in the margins:
You wrote down everything!
You wrote down nothing!
You wrote way too much!
You didn’t write select the right information to include!
You copied word for word and used too many quotes!
You wrote too much detail!
You didn’t write the author’s main focus/idea!
ARRRGHHHHHHH!!!!!!YOU CAN’TWIN!!!!!!
4. Now what?
Try, try again.
Summarizing takes time and practice. A lot of practice.
Give yourself at least an hour to complete the assignment
after you’ve finished reading.
By following the 6 summary steps in this presentation, you
should be able to arrive at an overall idea/gist of whatever
the author is trying to say.
To get to the overall idea, you are going to work
backwards at achieving that.You will start with a lot of
sentences and then reduce it down to main one.
5. Summary Objective
When writing a summary you want to accomplish 2 things:
1. The author’s main purpose or focus, which is ultimately
written as a topic sentence at the beginning of the
summary.
2. About 5-7 supporting sentences, which are a collection of
main points that follow the topic sentence.
6. Step 1
Annotate. As you read, keep a pen in hand. Underline keywords and take
notes along the margins, next to each paragraph if you can.Try to jot down
words that give you a clue for what each paragraph is about. Draw
boxes/circles around paragraphs that seem to share the same topic.This
will help to visual the “parts” of the reading.
7. Step 2
On a separate sheet of paper, list any keywords (words
that repeat, stand out, etc).
Names
Roles of names
Pronounceable
success
Comprehend
Likeable and likability
Judgment
Writers use keywords as “sign posts” or ways
of keeping you on track as you read. It isn’t
coincidental that the author seems to be
repeating him/herself!
8. Step 3
3. Group together keywords that overlap/share ideas by
circling, underlining, etc.
Names
Roles of names
Pronounceable
Comprehend
success
Likeable and likeability
Judgment
You will refer to this list later when you are writing your
focus, so keep it handy.
9. Step 4
Return to the original text where you jotted down notes along the
margins.
Going chronologically through the reading, write a sentence for each
paragraph on a separate sheet of paper. Each sentence should be the
main idea of that particular paragraph.
Revisit the keywords you have grouped together to help you.
You will have a paper that is made up of many sentences.
P1: ______(main idea)_________
P2:______(main idea)_________
P3:______(main idea)_________
P4:______(main idea)_________
11. Step 5
Refine and Reduce: Go through your main points and
erase any ideas that repeat or do not matter i.e. do not
help one to better understand the text. Replace jumbled
words/phrases with stronger, more precise words.Think
less is more. Try to get your main points down to 5
sentences.
12. Step 6
Focus:After rereading your 5-7 main points, determine
the author’s overall purpose or focus for writing the text.
What is he/she trying to tell us with these main points?
Write this as one statement.You might start with one of
these templates:
The author wants readers to understand…
Overall, the author argues that…
The author’s main purpose is…
Example:The author’s main purpose is to suggest that a
person with a name that is common and easy to pronounce
is more likely to be successful in life.
13. PAUSE
Your homework assignment ends here.
Your final product should be:
1. Your topic sentence, which includes a template from step 6
and the author’s focus
2. 5-7 additional supporting sentences (main ideas from the
reading) that follow
14. Step 7
Polish: Add the remaining FATt elements to your focus
and follow with your main points to support it.
Author’s full name
Text type (essay, narrative, article)
Text title
Example:The author’s main purpose is to suggest that a
person with a name that is easy to pronounce is more likely to
be successful in life.
Example revised: In the article “Easily Pronounced Names
May Make People More Likeable,” author Dave Mosher
suggests that a person with a name that is common and easy
to pronounce is more likely to be successful in life.
15. Format
Use standard paragraph form for your summary:
Begin with your FATt Statement (topic sentence/thesis.) It
captures in one sentence the author’s main purpose or focus.
Follow with 5-7 main points (supporting sentences)
If possible, follow the same order as the reading to list these
points.
