Ancient Europe Readings & Checkpoints
Over the course of the unit, we will be going through different sections of the textbook in class. Whenever we did a section of the readings, the questions will be due the same day and there will be a reading checkpoint made available the next day to start the class period (unless there were other instructions). The Google Forms online correspond to a specific topic/lesson in the textbook.
The Roman Empire Begins
Rome began as small settlements along the Tiber River. Mediterranean Europe has mild, rainy winters and hot, dry summers. Early farmers transformed southern Europe’s forests into wheat fields, olive orchards, and vineyards. Italy’s geography included mountains, rivers that supplied water and offered transportation routes, and plains that provided farmland. The early settlements joined together and became a city. The city’s soldiers conquered its neighbors, and in time Rome ruled all of Italy.
