Project Fair paragraphs

This week, the 6th graders are working on writing the paragraphs about their religions that will appear on their project fair boards.  The rough draft of these paragraphs are due on Tuesday, December 2.  We also switched gears this week and went back to our ancient Rome unit.  Because we are focusing on religions during this unit, the students will be learning about both Judaism and Christianity.  They will learn about how the Roman Empire treated people from both religions.  Students created mini-lessons about the main beliefs, texts, and holy days of Judaism.
