8.  AHBW 
Lessons 22 & 23 on Ancient Rome. These are the sources we read in class. Remember that you are FUSING the information... meaning that you are not going sentence by sentence, but grouping *like* information together (think of each line of your KWO as an old-school notecard). You're arranging your "notecards" together as they relate to each other, not in order necessarily. PLEASE, reach out to me if you are having any issues this week!!!
