Today we revisited the Pippen story to assess the effectiveness of the Franks' defences as described. We noted that answers to questions that involve assessment and evaluation can be varied. Sometimes the answer is a little of one thing
and a little of the other (it isn't "cut and dried"). I thought both groups did a good job today demonstrating that point in their answers about the Franks' defences.

Next we started to discuss the Roman Empire. In H Block, I first asked students to design a list of reasons why they think the Coast is a good place to live. We then classified the reasons into four groups: environment, social, economy and security. Next we read what geographic advantages the region occupied by the Roman Empire had. We ended by looking at seven reasons for the decline of the Empire. I abbreviated/condensed the first three and
asked students to condense the next four for homework.
