About this booklet
This Early Republic Booklet focusing on Rome will give your students a brief overview of this time period. It is designed to include the most important names and events.
This booklet begins at the time when King Tarquin the Proud was overthrown.
It touches on conflicts between the plebeians and patricians.
There is a quick summary of major wars along with key leaders, specifically Julius Caesar.
This was a section we needed to cover quickly in my classroom but this booklet resulted in some good discussions. For topics students were most curious about, I found short clips on YouTube to add more to our discussions.
Using this booklet
Print the booklet and give students the set of three pages. I encouraged my students to complete the booklet before they cut and stapled. This allowed them access to the word bank at the bottom of the page.
To complete the work, students will fill in the blanks. There is a word bank provided at the bottom of each page.
For some responses, students will be able to determine the answers that make sense on their own. For others, they will need to do a little research. I encouraged my own students to complete the spots that were easy to figure out first and then move on to the ones that required research.
The one place many got stuck was the section that mentioned Hannibal and war elephants. I had taught them to ask themselves if the answer made sense and for that one, it did not! This did result in students researching on their own to learn a little more about the event.
Once they finish, they will cut out the pages. I found that it helped my students to have a completed example of the finished, stapled booklet. Without it, many were cutting off parts that should stay in place. The example also helped them be able to put together and staple the booklet on their own.
