Brief Summary of Unit:
This unit discusses the Roman republic. First, it reviews the rise of the republic by
explaining the background information about the group of people who would later
create Rome. This includes discussion of the geography of Italian people and
where they developed their ideas and thoughts from. Next, it discusses the
government of the republic by explaining how it operated and who was involved.
Also, the Roman society is discussed, which lays out the duties of man and woman
as well as the different social classes of Rome. Finally, the topic of religion is
briefly discussed in this chapter before it concludes by discussing the republic's
overall growth and the struggles it had before its ultimate demise. The chapter
concludes with the failing of the Roman republic, which led to the Roman empire.

Contextual Information
1. Knowledge of characteristics of students
Age-Range, Gender, Total number of students- I am currently observing four of Mr.
Smith's seventh grade World History classes and his only eighth grade United States
History class. The students range between the ages of 12 and 15. The girl to boy
ratio is close to even in all of his classes, but girls always seem to have the slight
majority. During my hours observing, I observe anywhere from 125-150 students.
This number largely depends on how many are absent from class each day.
Achievement Levels (Remedial, Average, Advanced/ Accelerated, or specify range in
percentiles or grade-equivalent) - According to the New Albany Middle School
website, the school is regarded as being advanced/accelerated. Students do not seem
to have a strong foundation of knowledge when it comes to social studies. My
clinical instructor and I have largely attributed this to the fact that most school-wide
events, such as fire drills, pep rallies, and school pictures, are done while students
are in history class. There are several students in the classes that I observe who
have to have accommodations in reading because English is their second language.
Socio-Economic Description-According to ArcGIS map, the median household income
in New Albany is $25, 241. I see several students that seem to come from households
that make slightly more than that, which is evident from looking at the ArcGIS map.
The ArcGIS map shows that 27% of the population makes between $25,000 and
$50,000. The vast majority of the students I observe fall within the median
household income or lower. The ArcGIS map shows that 50% of households within
the district make $0-24,999 a year. http://arcg.is/1PnlsdL
Typical Demeanor of Students-Students are typically engaged; sometimes they get off
track, but they are willing to engage normally. They often complain about
homework but appear to enjoy the lessons.
Typical Interest and Involvement of Students-There are several football players in the
classes I observe as well as tennis players. Those that are not active participants in
sports still enjoy discussing the games with the other students. So, sports are
definitely interests of these students. Also, some of the students are interested in
using the laptops for everything they do, inside and outside of Mr. Smith's classes.
2. Knowledge of students varied approaches to learning (Include information from learning
styles inventory)-Students tend to be very auditory/visual in both classes. I have found,
during my times observing them, that they enjoy discussing topics and seeing them through
pictures or visual representations on the projector. I think the students might feel more
comfortable speaking in a smaller environment, though.

3. Knowledge of students skills and prior learning-These students do not seem to have a
general understanding of social studies. All of the material taught seems to be new to them.
I believe this is their first real introduction to historical events of the past, but they seem to
be gaining understanding by using tools like their laptops and textbooks.
4. Knowledge of community and school district (Include a description of the community and
school district)-The majority of children in my classroom seem to come from middle class to
poverty level backgrounds; a quarter of them appear to be above the middle class level.
After taking some time to get to know some of these students, it is inspiring to see children,
who have such different home lives, relate to one another because of their love for sports.
Sports are one of the only things in the classroom that I hear all backgrounds show emotion
and voice their opinions about. One thing I found very interesting at New Albany Middle
school is the ethnicity of its students. The ethnic population of the school is broken down as
follows: 38% White, 46% Black, 14% Hispanic, and 2% Mixed/Other. The populations of
these different ethnic groups are distributed much differently in New Albany compared to
any other place I have visited. http://arcg.is/1PnlsdL
