Structure5 paragraphs (Intro Paragraph, 3 Body

researched for you)1. Togo Salmon, Donald Dudley, and Echoes

from the Past. (216-221) It is colour coded. You WILL NEED a bibliography.

Writing your ThesisAfter reading all the material and making

notes, your thesis will answer the questions “What cause the decline and eventual collapse of the Roman Empire?” ***I don’t need the question put in the essay***

Come up with answer in one sentence.

This is a 5 paragraph essay so you will need to list three reasons why your answer is VALID.

Colour CodingThe Thesis and each reason is assigned its own

colour.

Example: Thesis (Purple) – “The Roman dependency on slaves was the most important factor in the Empire’s decline.”

Reason #1 (Blue): Slavery slowed the empire’s need to improve innovation.

Reason #2 (Red) : Slavery seriously impacted….Reason #3 (Green) Slavery….

Body ParagraphsEach of the three body paragraphs will then be colour

linked to their reason from the introductioSlavery slowed the empire’s need to improve innovation. Since most of the serious labour was left to slaves. Roman’s focus on philosophy and other distractions. Technology that would have made work easier was not a priority…….(you will need to include a quote from your source) “No doubt this stagnation can be partly explained by the influence of slavery” (Dudley, 1)n.

Example:You will also need to restate your thesis in each

paragraph. This will be colour linked as well.….This is why slavery pushed the Empire into decline.
