Communication and Collaboration > //Students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, to support individual learning and contribute to the learning of others.// > a. Interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others employing a variety of digital environments and media > b. Communicate information and ideas effectively to multiple audiences using a variety of media and > formats > d. Contribute to project teams to produce original works or solve problems > Here is also the the link to the sample script > Engage: **Students will complete a Google forms survey to assess prior knowledge. They will then watch a video of pictures and determine what the pictures all have in common. //Pictures will all be items that Rome borrowed from the Greeks and the Etruscans.//** Exploration: **Students will then be placed in group and will research a topic,(Engineering, sporting events, religion, language, architecture, government, and art), They will create a table in wikispaces where they will have to record information about how either the Greeks or the Etruscans gave them the idea and how Rome change it.**  Explain: **Students will then use voice thread and pictures from Flickr creative commons to record a short video on their topic explaining where the ideas came from, what the original idea was, and how Rome changed the idea.**  Elaborate: **Videos will be posted in the class blog and students will use the comments feature to determine which civilzation had the greatest impact on Ancient Rome.**  Evaluate: **Voice thread videos will be graded using a rubric** **and shared with the class. ** >

 * ===**Grade Level(s)/Subject: 6th Grade **===
 * **Essential learnings/questions** - **How did the Etruscans and Greek influence Roman Civilization? Who had the greater impact on Rome?**

 * **Time line** - see calendar http://domboskisworld.wikispaces.com/Calendar
 * **Content Standards/ Indicators**-**SS.HAW.60.03** Analyze the impact the Etruscan and the Greeks had on Roman culture
 * **NETS-S Standards/Indicators**
 * **Example of Student Product -** Here is the sample project I gave the students on a different topic but same idea. @http://voicethread.com/share/2137210/
 * **Differentiation** - Students will be placed in groups so that they are with people that can help if needed. online tutorial will offer visual and audio learners a chance to view skills needed, Students that needed will be given more in depth organizers, Group topics will also be determined based on skill level since some topics will be harder to find and understand. I will also make sure I stop by and help those students who I know need more help and direct them to databases such as SIRS discover instead of SIRS knowledge.
