Reflection Blog.
Throughout this project I have
overall enhanced my researching skills. With such a broad topic of Ancient
Roman Spectacle we did hit the problem of being specific and picking a certain
time period. Once we did some initial research and discovered the amount of
political influence put onto spectacle we found our starting point. With that
we chose the time of peace in Rome where spectacle and entertainment could take
precedence in the life of the empire. Connecting with the Roman Empire we
tracked to see if the huge concentration on spectacle had a significance
influence on the fall of the empire.
Overall I did prefer this sort of
final project rather than a final exam or paper. It gave us time to make sure our argument and
research was specific enough. I did like the group I was working with, we got
our information done and met when we could. We did stress the importance of
individual research because our busy schedules. Something that I did find
rather difficult was fulfilling the amount of text needed in the blogs.
Sometimes I would run out what I wanted to talk about in fear of being
repetitive each week. With us ending the project I can say I took plenty of
positive and helpful researching and presenting skills from this.
