Hello Everyone!
I will be updating this site daily given the COVID-19 situation in Manitoba. Students who were at school today were shown how to access this site and how to email me. The expectation for students is that they are checking this site daily for the day's lesson. Occasionally, I will request homework so students will email it. Both this site and the email contact link are found on the school's website; pull down STAFF and you'll see the teacher listings.
8ELA-We had Reading class followed by Unit 15 Spelling and Skills (pronoun problems). Please see below for worksheets. Print at home and then complete; due Wednesday.
8SS-We corrected Roman Government--answers below.
1. Two major groups within Roman society are the patricians (the wealthy, powerful people of Rome) and the plebeians (the ordinary people of Rome--NOT slaves).
2. The Concilium Plebis is the legislative assembly of the plebeians. Three things the tribunes did for the people were protect their rights, reject decrees of the senate and initiate laws that represented their interests. (Understand that the tribunes were plebeians--they created a new section of the government to work with the senate).
3. Populares wanted to implement change whereas the Optimates wanted Roman traditions/society to stay the same.
4. A republic is a system of gov't where people hold supreme power--it is a democracy. Rome was a republic because they voted for representatives and put limits on their power. (The USA is a republic whereas Canada is not--we are a constitutional monarchy--our ultimate head of state is the Queen).
5. By 133 BC, there was civil conflict in Rome--the poor had lost all faith in gov't and there were several dictators (the characteristics of a republic--see Q#4--were not happening)
6. The Twelve Tables were bronze tablets that had Roman laws written on them.
7. It is like Canadian law because both civilizations can plead a case in court and both have a punishment for crimes. OR It is not like Canadian law because we do not execute people, we do not publicly flog people, we do not cut off people's hands. It is also not like Canadian law because we do not consider adultery a crime and we do not consider tomb robbing as severe a crime as the Romans.
