=The Fall of the Roman Empire by 6A= Today in class you will be researching Rome's dramatic collapse (or was it a slow decline?). You may use internet resources, use general internet research, or some of the articles I have available in hard copy.

You will need to first read two articles each on the decline of Rome. After you do this, I would like you to discuss as a group the theories that you found, and prepare to start writing your wiki page. Each team will be required to write a five paragraph essay on your wiki page. You will do this together with your team.

You will begin this lesson by going to the Research Tools page and finding articles on the fall of Rome. Once you open a research engine you need to find an article on the fall of Rome and begin to read. You all need to read different articles. This way you are getting a lot more research done by working together. Start talking about the information you find.

The next step is to start writing. Remember that you need five paragraphs. That includes an introduction and conclusion. It is expected that you make reference to where you find your information, so keep track of that. You can create links to those articles so your readers can see where you found your information. Graphics are also needed. They give extra information and spice up your wiki page.
