Social:From an evaluation of
the evidence
we have examined in Shelton's

three chapters, not just one. Also, does it matter what social
class a woman belonged to?
Social:From an evaluation of
the evidence
we have examined in Shelton's
Chapters II, III, and XIII, develop a reasoned conclusion what rights
women had then as compared to now in the U.S (or your own country if
not the U.S.). Make sure that your evidence is representative of all
three chapters, not just one. Also, does it matter what social
class a woman belonged to?
Politics: Compare
and contrast President Obama and Augustus
with
respect to three of the
following:
foreign policy, domestic policy, emphasis on morals and morality, and
use
of the media. Just as for Augustus, when discussing President Obama,
make
sure you give specific examples to illustrate the points you are
making.
For
Augustus, use class
notes, the readings we have covered in this unit, and a pdf of a web
site on Augustan art & architecture (unfortunately the web material
is no longer available on the web; the pdf is in Moodle entitled
"AugAA.pdf")
Primary
sources are
the passages that are by Roman sources (the things in quotes or
indented
in Kebric and the indented passages in Shelton) and are not commentary
by Shelton or Kebric.
Citing:
Ancient Material:
ancient author (if
there is one) in the body of your paper and at the
end of the sentence give the modern author and page number(s) in parentheses, e.g. Martial
says "..." (Shelton, 70). or Aelius Aristides describes the various
things one can get in Rome, thus " ..." (Kebric, 3).
If no
ancient author, then indicate the type of source, e.g. one papyrus
letter
from a son to his mother says "..." (Kebric, 2-3).
If you are unsure
whether there is an author or not, Shelton has an appendix that lists
the various sources.
