I’m working on a History exercise and need support.
Minimum 450 words for each topic
Then, for this week, you get to build your own assignment. You will pick a topic related to Roman history that you find the most compelling and write about it. Be sure to explain why you picked your topic and identify the when, where, how, why, what data (in other words, if you pick Julius Caesar tell us when he ruled, why he was important, what he did, how he did it, where he did the thing you are telling us about…) Roman history is full of fascinating topics and by allowing you all the freedom to choose we will receive a diverse and interesting set of entries. If you need help choosing a topic, email me.
These web sites will be helpful for many topics:
