Hey Now!
This is Bret Scheidenhelm, one of the two excellent 8th grade Social Studies teachers at Sperreng. I used my audio lesson as part of an assignment about the Fall of the Roman Empire. Students went through several documents about the Fall of Rome (from our handy Mini DBQ binder) and had to identify the major causes of the end of the Roman Empire. I had the students then create a short speech they would give to the Roman people if they were taking over the empire pledging the fix some of those problems. I loved having them leave the message on my google voice account because multiple people could call at once, or they could call from home. It would have taken all hour for every student to share their short speech but with google voice it was only a small part of class. I am going to try and share one of the speeches, don't hate me if it doesn't work!
