Following my post yesterday, some of you asked me for an update on how my 7th grade classes did in the game we played trying to avert the sack of Rome to the Visigoths in 410. In answer I give you this famous painting from Thomas Cole's 1836 "Course of Empire" series. 😏 They didn't save Rome but they gave it a good go! One of the two classes overthrew the Emperor Honorius, which made for an interesting afternoon. Teaching history can be fun and it's great to see kids taking an interest in the past.
