We also started to read Chapter One; it opens with a discussion of Ancient Rome.  I asked students to practice condensing information by looking at p. 11 and the reasons it gives to explain why Rome "fell." I condensed the first three points into student-friendly/easy to remember language, and ask that you do the same for the four that remain.

Please complete the list for homework
