Where are your work journal entries--still missing some.

Secondary sources http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/22/arts/design/22vill.html Patrician Villa- Shows how they lived and what they had.-Jon

http://www.historylink102.com/Rome/roman-patricians.htm Although not too much information, it talks about what patricians were, how they lived, and how they would grow up as kids.-Jon

Primary sources http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/ancient/plinyyoung-letters3-1.html A letter written by someone named Pliny the younger, who shows how a roman gentleman lives in his lap of luxury.-Jon

http://www.vroma.org/~hwalker/Pliny/Pliny03-02-E.html Another letter by Pliny the younger. He's reccomending his friend for a position under Vibus Maximus, showing people would count on wealthy and powerful friends to get a good job if they are in a lower class.

11/20/08- Chris and I have made a main focus for our topic during the history class. We have assigned everyone a topic to research on. I have started researching the Patricians as part of my topic.

11/21/08- I have met with Aaron to work on the project. I have one secondary source and one primary source. Should be easy for me to find another secondary source. I also found a better secondary source on coins than the one that I had found earlier.

11/24/08- I have found my final secondary source, meaning I have found all of my sources. I have written a summary on this information, so that the information can be summarized into our outline. I have spent 2 study halls on this project today. The summary has been sent to Aaron to be organized with the other summaries. 9th period we have met and made a work plan, got an idea for the presentation, and sent deadlines. I have made an idea for the presentation.

11/25/08- I worked on citing the sources today. the works cited have been finished. I have annotated them as well. This means our annotated bibliography is finished. Also, everyone likes my idea for the presentation, so there is a chance of it becoming the actual presentation.

12/02/08- I have gathered some information to be used in our presentation. Aaron and I have also slightly altered the project so that we give out candy in the end. I have gotten rid of the kidipedia site and found a site which will help support our info for the project. I have spent 2 study halls and a history period working on history today.

Divide the people into 3 groups. The candy is pretend “money”  Basically what you guys said about giving them candy. More in depth, we tell them it is their money for food of the day. Group 1 is patricians and group 2 and 3 are plebeians. We will talk about what the plebeians would normally get, like bread, and the Patricians would get, like their fancy dinner with entertainment.  We give the candy out again. We tell them it is the money they can spend on their house. Group 2 is the patricians and groups 1 and 3 are plebeians. We talk about what plebeians would have, like a house with one bed and no kitchen, and what the patricians would have, like a huge house with slaves, marble, and their own private baths.  The plebeians are assigned a paragraph to do about something we talked about, while the patricians are assigned to do one sentence. Once they are all done we pass out their candy. Group 3 is the patricians and groups 1 and 2 are the plebeians. We talk about which classes would be able to do which jobs.  We talk about the fairness, Q and A, etc
