Ancient Republic Roman

In the V century the etrusc monarchy of the city of Rome finished because patricians and plebs tried to have more rights and, mainly, power. They elicited a revolt and instaured a Republic System. Plebs stayed out again and continuated complaining until They obtained the "Tribú de la Pleb". The Tribú was a people's representant who joined in the meetings about the decisions which affected to the city. But this wasn't enought and plebs wanted to have their rights more clearly, more secure. Finally They obtained the "Llei de les 12 taules" where there were different rights for plebs such as marriage with citizens or have possessions.

However most people stayed out of this system because women, slaves or strangers didn't have any right.

a. Look at the image and answer the questions:

1. Who chose the Senators? And the Magistrates?
2. Who were the most important magistrates? Why?
3. Look for who were the libertos
4. What was the Senate's function?
5. What could plebeians and liberti choose?

Advantages team job

Sometimes I forgot students level, I mean, They are in 1st o 2nd ESO and only are 11 or 12 years old. If I remember when I was younger than now I can modify my classes  so I can feel myself  like them. 

When I do this I readapt my contents, my activities and, besides, I enjoy more my job while I look at the students and how They work the subject by themselves. Obviously anything has positive and negative aspects and this is not different. At first I 'd like to explain negative aspects even though I'm going to focus in positive aspects. The negative would be : 

- Speak aloud

- No all people will work

- A lot of time to organizate and prepare exposure.

Otherwise the aspects positive are : 

- Integration

- Collaboration

- Find leaders in the group

- Learning by themself

- Social skills

I recommend to you do this activity sometime in any unit of your book. If you do it you will see all these advantages.

I hope your opinion :)
