Kelly's Blog # 5

 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.
