A Bonus Mission:
If looking to gain some extra credit, you could write an extra post about Roman Expansion.
Rome wasn't built in a day. For this mission you get to visit Rome during one of the four periods of expansion (as defined in Chapter 34). Write a post about your experiences.
In your post you might:
- sign a peace treaty and ally with the Etruscans
- fight in a battle during the Punic Wars
- join Spartacus or Caesar in revolt against authority
- plot and debate with your fellow senators about murdering Caesar
- experience the growth of arts and education during the Pax Romana
Specific Post Requirements:
- Must contain the letters "EC" at the start of your post title
- Must contain two pieces of factual information about the period of expansion you've selected
- Must use Writer's Secret 2-3 (AAAWWUBBIS). Be sure to highlight it when used.
- Must use and underline any TWO of the following new delicious words: acquiesce, extol, flabbergasted, mandate, impeccable, or nonchalant.
General Post & Comment Requirements:
You do not have to comment on other posts for this extra mission; the second delicious word will earn you the 2 points normally given for reading and commenting.
