Tonight's homework.

Today in class we read about and discussed the Gupta Empire (in what is now India). Students were given an article, "The Hephthalites" to read for homework. They should also write a paragraph or two comparing the fall of the Gupta Empire to the fall of the other empires we studied (particularly Rome and Han Empires).
Here is the link to the information we read in class http://india.mrdonn.org/gupta.html students should have a copy of it in their notebooks.

The Fall of Rome Projects

This week we have been working on projects in class.  Students should list 5 reasons for the fall of Rome, 2 facts for each reason, and a picture that represents each reason.  Students may present their information in whatever medium they choose.  It may be digital (powerpoint, web page, glogster) or a poster.  In addition, students must turn in their original research of 10 reasons (with two facts for each reason).
