Today capped off our final lesson in Grade 7 Social Studies, as both classes watched "Gladiator". The movie is set in the time period when the Roman Empire had reached it's peak of power and influence, and then begins to transition into the beginning of the end of the Roman Empire, which is the starting point for the students in Grade 8 Socials. The movie also gave the students a glimpse into the sights and sounds of Ancient Roman life in the Provinces and in Rome, a topic they have been studying over the past month.
