Pompeii & Herculaneum "Museum Visit"

It was great to see so many of you at the theater last night!  I hope you enjoyed the exhibition, and that it cemented some of the key elements of Roman life and art from that time.  For those of you who attended, please see the details of your assignment below:

ALL WORK MUST BE SUBMITTED BY THE END OF THE SCHOOL DAY ON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 2ND!  NO WORK SUBMITTED AFTER THIS TIME WILL BE ACCEPTED.

1.  You will see a series of questions/topics posted on the blog (following this post).  You must first construct a response for each of the topics.  These responses must fully address the topic/question posed.  Your responses can be conversational/candid in nature, but should be written in complete sentences.  Please be sure to post your response as a "comment" to the appropriate question/topic.  Responses should NOT be listed as new postings!

2.  After your classmates have posted their responses to the topics, you are responsible for replying to at least 3 students PER topic.  Please understand that three replies per topic is a bare minimum and you are welcome (and encouraged) to reply to more students (and multiple times, too!).  Please make sure that you are posting your reply to the student's comment, not the original question, so that we keep a neat and tidy string of comments!

The idea is that this should start an academic "conversation" of sorts, outside of our classroom time. 

So what's at stake here?  You are earning points to be added to your overall quiz grade for Unit 6 (Greece).  This will be your three quizzes averaged together, plus any bonus points you earn here!  You can earn up to 10 bonus points, depending on the depth of your responses and your reactions/replies to your fellow classmates.  Feel free to be opinionated on these responses--you are not being judged on how you feel, but rather, how you support your arguments!

Ready?  Set?  Go!!!
