1. To prepare for this unit test, I organized the big ideas into charts. I broke down each big idea into smaller sections, and then went into smaller details. In this way, I learned the basic things, but also some facts that support the main ideas.
a) I think that the technique I used to study was effective, since in that way I learned all the important facts instead of having to memorize them. Also, the chart helped me visualize how one thing affected another, and how everything is connected.
b) Next time, I will prepare for my test the same way I did for this one. I knew most things that were on the test using this technique it has proven to be useful, so I will use it again.
2. The most surprising thing that I learned during this unit was the Roman brutality. Romans were very harsh and cruel, and would do almost anything to get to power. For example, the story of the founding of Rome was about two brother Remus and Romulus, and how Romulus killed his brother, so he could decide where the city would be built. This type of behavior was followed later on in Rome where rulers would kill their own family members in order to gain power.
3. One thing that I would like to learn more about would be gladiators. We learned a few things about them, like the fact that they fought in the Coliseum, and they had to fight to the death. I would like to learn some more things like where they came from, how they lived before, and other things like that.
