Ancient Rome Final question

I. Source Analysis (20 points)

Pick ONE of the options below and answer the questions that follow it.

Option 1: Relief showing Julia Domna crowning Caracalla

Note: The original findspot is unknown (possibly Syria—it is definitely not an official imperial monument but a piece of art in which inhabitants of the provinces commented on events). It is now in a museum in Poland.

(a) Briefly (but accurately) describe or summarize your source (2 points)
(b) State three plausible conclusions that the source allows you to draw (6 points)
(c) For any one of the conclusions you have listed above, discuss how your source allows you to reach that conclusion. Please comment on specific details. (5 points)
(d) How does this source relate to what you have learned this semester? Does it support what you have seen previously? Does it contradict it? Does it complicate it? This question is best answered by comparing this new source to one or two specific other bits of material that we have studied in this class (5 points)
(e) Formulate a question to do with this new source. Anything goes: requests for clarification of a certain detail, a broader question about the Romans prompted by this source etc. (2 points)

Option 2: Historia Augusta Lives of Carus, Numerian, Carinus 18
The Historia Augusta is a set of imperial biographies by an unknown author that continues Suetonius’ work
We have now come to the end of the three emperors, Carus, Numerian and Carinus [3 Chaos Emperors], after whom the gods gave us Diocletian and Maximian to be our princes, joining to these great men Galerius and Constantius, the one of whom was born to wipe out the disgrace incurred by Valerian’s capture, the other, to bring again the province of Gaul under the laws of Rome. Four rulers, indeed, of the world were they, brave, wise, kindly, and wholly generous, all of one mind toward the state, very respectful to the Roman senate, moderate, friends of the people, revered, earnest, and pious, and, in fact, such emperors as we have always desired.

(b) State three plausible conclusions that the source allows you to draw (6 points)
(c) For any one of the conclusions you have listed above, discuss how your source allows you to reach that conclusion. Please comment on specific details. (5 points)

II. Essay (50 points)
Pick ONE of the following options. Your response should be about 1–2 pages in length (double spaced, reasonable font and margins)

1. In the second half of this course, you saw a lot of coins of Roman emperors (and, occasionally, other members of the imperial family). Coins are the only form of mass media available in the Roman world, so they are enormously important for advertising a ruler’s priorities. But not all famous Romans have coins associated with them. Please think of a Roman (note: this means no Hannibal, Cleopatra, Boudica and the like) who you think really needs a fancy new coin. Propose a design and explain why you think this coin would do a good job showcasing this individual.

2. We have encountered many colorful characters in this course. Not all of their actions and decisions can be fully explained with information that we have in the surviving sources. Imagine that you could go back in time to have dinner with one of the individuals in this course. Who would you pick, what is one question you would ask them and why is this question important for our understanding of Roman history?

3. Throughout this course, we have encountered many different models of Roman leadership. What do you think makes a good Roman leader? Do you think that the answer to this question changes over time or do the ideals of Roman leadership remain static throughout the approximately 1,000 years of history that we have studied this semester?

Discussion: Video Presentation: Cultural Immersion Experience Assignment Instructions

The Cultural Immersion Experience Video Presentation allows the students to consider multicultural trends found in a particular diverse cultural group of the United States and to begin comparing/contrasting their own cultural experience with that of this other group.  Through the actual experience of what it is like to be immersed in a different culture, greater insight will occur into the role of the counselor in developing cultural self-awareness, understanding the role of community, cultural, and family systems, the promotion of social justice and advocacy, and the importance of eliminating biases.

Based on the student’s Cultural Immersion experiences, each student will develop a voiceover PowerPoint presentation to share with their course mates. The video presentation should address the following elements:

The video presentation should include the following content from the immersion experience:

  • The four key elements learned from research
  • Historical/current oppression of chosen population
  • Summary of two events and three (3) key things that were learned
  • Summary of agency/organization interview using question prompts
  • Summary of individual/couple interview information using question prompts
  • Summary of experience using prompts
  • A discussion of specific and practical application to counseling

The presentation parameters should include the following elements:

  • A professional PPT/Prezi that is well organized and appealing with appropriate pictures. Word count should be limited in the PPT/Prezi and should only include prompts to be covered by the student during video recording of the presentation. The slides need to include citation of scholarly references.
  • Voiceover presentation should last between 15-20 minutes.
  • This can be completed by using Kaltura Capture. See instructions for Kaltura in the thread. Please reach out to LU IT for technical support.

Students will view and reply to two other student initial videos and comment on the presentation sharing a reflective summary of what was viewed.

NOTE: When viewing initial videos, ensure that you view videos wherein there are either no replies or one reply from another student. If you happen to see an initial post wherein there are two replies from other students, then you must select another initial post. As part of your replies, include approximately 200 words for each reply commenting on the content of the video presentation.

LM 7 Listening Activity

1.)  Listen to the following two works in their entirety and answer the questions below.  Click or copy/paste the links to access each selection.  These are also found in the LM 7 folder in D2L.

Anton Webern:  Wie bin ich froh!                   Laurie Anderson:  O Superman

    https://youtu.be/7vckVbV95Ro                                  https://youtu.be/Vkfpi2H8tOE

 

2.)  Write a short paragraph (5 sentences minimum) that responds to the following, based on your own tastes and responses to the music:

Even though these are two very different songs, they are both recognized as some of the most important examples of 20th century composition.  The first one, by Webern, is from the early decades of the century (1935), whereas O Superman is relatively much more recent (1981).  What were your overall opinions?  Did any of these remind you of any of the other Listening Guides, or other music you’ve heard?  Consider the following as you answer these questions:

 

The Webern song uses a sample of poetry by Hildegarde Jone.  It is sung in German in the recording; here is the English translation:

How glad I am!

Once more all’s turning green about me and shining so!

And overflowing with flowers in my world!

Once more I’m at the center of Becoming and yet on earth.

 

How (if at all) do the text and music relate?

 

Regarding the Laurie Anderson selection, the music video is an important part of this song, and it has a lot in common with other music videos of the early 1980’s/early MTV years.  What did you think of the music to visual connections present in the video?

 

One other note, in case you find it interesting:  O Superman was featured in the “Bandersnatch” episode of Black Mirror on Netflix a few years ago.  If you’re a fan of that series, it may sound familiar.

 

Questions 1-3 are about the Webern example.

1.)  Which term best applies to the melody in the vocal part in this song?

  • Conjunct motion
  • Disjunct motion
  • Ground Bass
  • Fugue

2.)  How would you describe the harmony?

  • Mostly Dissonant
  • Mostly Consonant

3.)  While this piece does not use traditional tonal harmony, it does include phrases and cadences throughout.  How many complete phrases do you hear?  (Hint:  focus on the vocal part.)

  • two
  • five
  • ten
  • none of the above (if selected, please indicate    how many you heard)

 

 

Questions 4-5 are about the Anderson example.

4.)  What type of texture do you hear most throughout this piece?

  • Monophonic
  • Homophonic
  • Polyphonic

5.)  Which sub-genre within 20th century music does this most clearly resemble?

  • Minimalism
  • Serialism
  • Neo-Classicism
