Sample Lesson on Gladiators
In this individualized course, you get to select from a list of readings and
writing topics to meet the requirements of your syllabus
options. Let's say you are interested in learning more about gladiators.
If so, this might be an essay you select to read and take a quiz over. Here
are the related steps:
- Read the comparative essay entitled Roman
and Aztec Sport.
- At the bottom of the essay are links to enhance your study. Examine the
Graph of Stadium Capacities, the
drawing of a gladiator, and read the biography of Commodes.
Read the related source document from a spectator observing
gladiators in battle.

essay and its supplementary sources. (Results are automatically submitted
to teacher.)

revision. Read what others have said about the final essay on the message
board and leave your own comments.

research and write an essay from among the topics listed in the "requirements"
column on the Scope and Sequence page. For example...

persecution?
Option 2

as American football, rugby and Spanish bullfighting. What is the historical
