Enriched: No homework this weekend.
Honors: Reading notes on the packet "Big Era Four" are due Wednesday.
In class today, we took notes on the rise of Christianity and the impact of the rise of Christianity on the Roman Empire. We also read and analyzed the Sermon on the Mount, as we read key texts from Hinduism, Buddhism, and Judaism earlier in the year.
A recommended reading on the importance of understanding different religious traditions: "Basic Religion Test Stumps Many Americans," New York Times, 9/28/10.
Do Now, Thursday, 10-21:
Please answer each of the following questions, referring to your reading notes if necessary:
1. What is the Pax Romana? Don’t just translate the phrase – explain what it means.
2. Provide one example of how the Pax Romana affected the lives of people living under Roman rule.
3. List and explain one “upside” and one “downside” of a single political power – such as the Roman Empire – ruling huge amounts of territory.
Have a great weekend,
Mr. McCarl
