I will! I sure love picking her up for school in
the mornings. She is my best friend, and it is
so nice that she lives close so we can walk to
school together!
Time for school! Bye Mom, bye Dad!
Bye Christie, have a great day! Tell Stephanie
hello for us!

I hope that we start a fun unit today! Maybe Mr.
Marcason will surprise our class!

Good morning class!
We are starting a new and exciting unit today.
For the next couple of weeks we will learn about
ancient Rome. We will divide into groups of 3 and
each group must videtape their very own Roman
Banquet. At the end of the unit, we will present
the tapes to the class. So be creative and have
fun!
6th Graders New Unit!! Ancient Romans

too? Since we are all best friends, it would be a
lot of fun.
(Class) Good morning Mr. Marcason

Its okay Rosa. Lets go downstairs so we can
start taping.
Im here! Sorry girls, our electricity went out
last night so our clocks were all wrong.

Cut! Christie, are you okay?
This is turning out to be a disaster! We only
have a half hour until Christie needs to leave.
What are we going to do?
Ill have my mom fix my outfit!
Ok! 5,4,3,2,1, action!
Oh no! My costume ripped!
And I keep laughing and cant remember my lines!
Ill practice my lines!
Cough, yes Mrs. Favia, I choked on my grape. Cough
And I will eat more carefully so I do not choke
again!
We can do this! Lets take a 5 minute break to
re-group.
I think we are ready now Mrs. Favia!

The Favias Mike, Elaine, and Stephanie
We sure did! I cant wait until we show our video
in class Monday!
Wow! Our video looks great! You would never know
we had any trouble!
I agree, we really pulled through girls!
13
Christie, it is time for your groups videotape.
I agree, you girls did an excellent job!
Okay!
Wow! That was the best Roman banquet yet!
I loved the costumes!
14
It sure was. You know girls, I learned a lot more
than just about the ancient Romans. I learned
that when the going gets rough you need to stay
focused and keep on trying. Our video proves that
we have what it takes! I will never forget this
great experience!!
I agree! It was a great end to the unit.
We did a great job on the video girls, the class
loved it!
