This project proved to be pretty difficult to
me. It was a big time commitment and we could not seem to get everyone on
board. There those of us who did not do the individual blogging and who did not
put in as much time with group meetings. It seemed that everyone in there
groups had all of their commitments taking place at the very end of the school
year.
Our
task was an enormous one: We had to talk about Ancient Roman society, their
culture relating to spectacle and leisure, and the fall of the empire all
within the course of fifteen minutes. I was afraid, even as we were presenting
that our argument and our scope were too broad, but, honestly, we had no choice.
We did not have time to look at specific emperors or every element that went
into the empire’s collapse. I felt that we had to reach for that broader
argument because it was all that time would allow for.
I
thought I managed to come through for my group and step up the plate. I did my
part on the research and I presented the strongest argument I could. I cannot
expect anything more.
