Society During the Republic

Primary Sources This is a bronze statue dating back to the Hellenistic time period portraying a Roman woman in a very sophisticated wrap. It was made to show the grace of a woman’s body as well as the modesty she should have as her body is completely covered. During the republic their views on how one should wear clothes and jewelry were more rigid but they never stopped at being in awe at the beauty in the human body and loved to show that beauty. This statue can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of art.

Work Journal.
Wednesday November 19th - I got our schedules together and set up meeting times for the next couple days. I wrote up a mock work plan to go over with the group during the next period. I started gathering information on the society of the republic, finding possible sites.

Thursday November 20th- We had our first meeting, we put all our work plans together and made one final one. We figured out all our meeting times until the project was due. We separated the tasks between each of us and divided the topic. I am researching about clothing and the significance of it in their culture. Tonight I will find two secondary sources and be able to tell my group about them tomorrow.

Friday November 21st- We had a meeting where we discussed our sites so that everyone became familiar with the information you personally learned. We decided that for the weekend we each find a primary source and summerize it for Mary Gray Mary Gray is putting together the info we gave her into a summery I started coming up with ideas for the presentation and looking for a primary source

Weekend of November 22-23 - I found and summerized a primary source and then sent it to Mary Gray I started coming up with general ideas for presentation script.

Monday November 24- I finalized the information that would be contained in the power point. I began working with ideas for how to present the actual topic as a whole.

Tuesday November 25- I looked over Mary Gray's summery and edited for her. I continued to work on the presentation.

Thanksgiving break, November 26 through December 1- I completed presentation power point for us to use. I refined a simple outline for our presentation to present to the group when we got back.

Tuesday December 2- I refined the presentation even further and checked on how we were for time.

Wednesday December 3- I practiced the presentation so I would be ready to give it tomorrow, just in case.
