Welcome to the Grayson Rams 2014: March Madness Gateway Taking the Outline to the draft -Once you have finished the prewriting in an outlined or concept map format, you are ready to draft. -Simply follow the logical organization of the outline and transform your jotlist into complete sentences. -This is the time to expand your combination of document sources and prior knowledge. -Transition these ideas together. A detailed outline will make this step much easier. Depth of Development Government & Engineering– Low Response Roman contributes by helping other people build a road way so people could pass through. Roman built a roadway so people could travel around and get where they need to get. Roman was built in Italy. What is wrong with this picture? Depth of Development Government & Engineering– Medium Response At one point in time, the Romans had an empire. It was ruled by an emperor, who made all the decisions and had all the power. Their government affects us today because most countries have a government where one person is in charge and has all the power. Also, the Roman’s engineering has affected almost everyone after the decline of Rome. As shown in Doc. A, Romans made roads and aqueducts. These inventions made travel and the dispersion of water easier. Roads benefit people even today because they help make trade easier, and they help with cultural diffusion. RED = document use BLUE = prior knowledge Depth of Development Government & Engineering– High Response With the start of the Roman Classical Age came a new type of government in Rome, as well as increased trade and heightened Roman influence throughout Europe. As the term “Empire” suggests, Rome as ruled by an emperor – the first being Augustus – who was backed by the Senate, a group of very wealthy nobles who supervised and aided the emperor in his decisions. Previously, Rome had been a Republic, with two consuls, a Senate, and a Tribunal Assembly that represented the common people. The influence of both types of Roman government are obviously evident in the modern-day structure of government in countries all around the world. The United States’ government, for example, consists of an executive branch led by the president, as well as the Senate and House of Representatives. The members of the Senate and House are elected by American citizens, and these members represent the people’s voice in the government’s actions. In addition to the emergence of the Roman Empire, new paved roads and efficient aqueducts were built all over Rome. The Roman Road, as depicted in Document A, provided a safer and more reliant means of transporting goods and services, as well as an easier mode of communication. The roads connected the entire Empire, allowing the emperor to exert a more influential force over parts of the Empire that were distant or remote. The Roman aqueduct, also shown in Document A, allowed for thousands of gallons of water to be transported to the major cities in the Empire everyday. With fresh, clean water available, the Romans were able to practice good hygiene, and they also were able to accomplish other tasks besides having to find water for their families everyday. RED = document use BLUE = prior knowledge Depth of Development Religion – Low Response Many of the Greek and Roman gods have specific meanings and controversial names. But the world will never know who gave these gods their names. Did the gods name themselves? As for this being so late in the ancient history who would know. Greek and Roman none of their gods had all the same power, each god had a different quality. What is wrong with this picture? Depth of Development Religion – Medium Response At first the Romans were polytheistic, which means they believed in many gods such as Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto (Document B). These gods were based on the Greek gods Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades (Doc B). Over time, as they had new rulers, and Constantine came to power, he changed and converted to Christianity, a monotheistic religion. Christianity spread quickly throughout the territories of the Roman Empire as shown in Document C. RED = document use BLUE = prior knowledge Depth of Development Religion – High Response Earliest Romans were polytheistic and practiced the worship of gods and goddesses, which were adopted from Greek culture. As stated in Document B, the Roman equivalent of the Greek Zeus was called Jupiter. The early Romans believed that Jupiter was the father of the gods – the most powerful of the gods and goddesses. They worshipped the gods and goddesses through sacrificial events and special festivals and celebrations dedicated to each of the gods and goddesses. Later, however, during the Roman Classical Age, the religion of Christianity surfaced and quickly spread throughout the Empire. Christians believed in the presence of one all-powerful God, whose son – Jesus – is the Messiah who came to save them. As indicated on the map in Document C, Christianity became very prominent in the Empire as the apostle Paul spread the faith to both Jews and Gentiles. Christianity became an official religion accepted by a Roman emperor after Constantine saw the vision of a cross in battle (as depicted in Document D), and won the battle by asking for God’s help. Later, Christianity became the official religion of Rome under Theodosius’ reign. Christianity spread so successfully throughout the empire due to the Pax Romana and roads, which allowed the safe exchange of ideas throughout Rome. RED = document use BLUE = prior knowledge Depth of Development Arts & Entertainment– Low Response There floors are arches and columns. Also they have marble facade of many arches and statues for there art to make it really nice. And they will be able to filled it up. For most of their entertainment they used side access to arena, also dungeons and animals, have shows there. Many of the Romans have used these events and there shows for the audience. Depth of Development Arts & Entertainment– Medium Response The Romans entertained themselves in many ways. Some people were artists who created sculptures of emperors and important people, as well as making pottery and paintings. They also entertained themselves with Gladiator fights of different types, such as gladiators against wild animals, or gladiators against other gladiators. They also had chariot racing, and many of the events took place in the Coliseum, as shown in Document E. In this building there are many arches and statues shown in the outside design. It was one of the largest arenas at that time that was used to entertain thousands of citizens and the rulers. The design is similar to the stadiums we have today. RED = document use BLUE = prior knowledge Depth of Development Arts & Entertainment– High Response The Roman idea of “bread and circus” was popularized during the empire’s reign as a means to keep Roman people satisfied and in their place, and it resulted in a surge of new forms of entertainment. The theory basically stated that if people were kept occupied by delicious food and great spectacles, they would remain content and not rebel against the government. This resulted in the building of elaborate arenas, such as the Coliseum, meant for crowd pleasing events. At the Coliseum, as seen in document E, gladiators fought each other or ferocious animals to the death as huge quantities of people watched and cheered. Mock naval battles were also held at the Coliseum. Furthermore, Romans favored theater and held many drama festivals featuring both comedies and tragedies, the two major genres. While gladiator fights are no longer held, many of the these dramas are still performed in our theaters today. Roman art, such as frescoes and mosaics became the most evident form of pictoral expression. The Pax Romana allowed for the trade of this art to locations around the empire, resulting in the exchange of ideas. Ease of trade was further facilitated by the intricate road systems built by the Romans as seen in Document A.
