history cleopatra egypt

shared by lunastella22 on 18 Feb 16 - No Cached
  • In the year 48 B.C., the great Roman general Julius Caesar traveled to the city of Alexandria in Egypt. He took up residence in the Egyptian palace and demanded to have the country's rulers, 21-year-old Cleopatra VII and her younger brother, Ptolemy XIII, brought before him. Cleopatra was hesitant. She and her brother were in the midst of a long and bitter battle for power over Egypt. She thought--with good reason--that her enemies would try to kill her if she were seen approaching the palace. Still, she knew it was important to answer his demand. Caesar was extremely powerful, and Cleopatra knew he could be helpful in her struggle against her brother.
  • In Cleopatra's brief life she was involved in war- and peace-making, royal intrigue, a ruthless struggle for power, violent and treacherous acts, and legendary love affairs. She ruled over--and then lost--an entire kingdom, and her name is forever linked with two of the most powerful men of the ancient world, Julius Caesar and Marc Antony. Although we know little of absolute fact about her, she lives on in our imaginations--on movie and television screens, in books and newspaper articles. Somehow Cleopatra's vivid, larger-than-life story reaches out from centuries ago and continues to enchant us today
  • Cleopatra's full name was Cleopatra VII Thea Philopator. In Greek, Cleopatra means "glory of her race," and Philopator means father-loving. She was born in 69 B.C., the third daughter of Ptolemy XII, king of Egypt. Ptolemy XII, who was known by the more familiar name of Auletes ("flute player"), was a descendant in a dynasty that had begun in 323 B.C., when Ptolemy I, a native of Macedonia and a subordinate of Alexander the Great, became one of three Diadochi (successors) to gain control over portions of Alexander's massive empire. Cleopatra would ultimately become the last of the Ptolemaic dynasty to rule Egypt.

  • Cleopatra herself was, first and foremost, a Ptolemy. The very best of ancient Greek and Egyptian cultures lay at her feet. She received her education from the best scholars in Egypt. Servants fulfilled her smallest whim. She lacked for nothing, and there was little she could have wanted that would not have been granted her. But life during that period, as Ptolemy XII knew, was not perfect. Beneath the outward glamour and elegance, Egypt and the Ptolemy line were in grave danger. A self-indulgent king, Ptolemy XII watched as the Egyptians became increasingly restless and dissatisfied with his leadership. Moreover, the kingdom had been split when his brother became king of Cyprus, and when the Egyptians discovered that Ptolemy XI, his father, had left a will that ceded Egypt to Rome, Ptolemy XII found himself on unstable ground indeed.
  • The exiled queen first traveled to the Roman province of Syria, where she found backers to help her raise her own army in return for offering to share Egypt's wealth once she was restored to the throne. Cleopatra began to face the fact that Rome, not Egypt, was the central power of the Mediterranean world. Therefore, she reasoned, would it not make sense to ally herself with Rome rather than fight it?
  • By 48 B.C., Cleopatra had raised a substantial army. Determined to regain the throne, she led the army to Pelusium in northern Egypt in preparation for fighting her brother and his regents for control of the kingdom. Cleopatra knew that the Ptolemy dynasty was not as powerful and influential as it had once been. The glorious days of Egypt's ascendancy were gone, and Rome was now the world's great power. But the queen held a burning desire to restore Egypt to its former splendor and influence. She was convinced that she would be the one ruler who could honor her ancestors by renewing the Ptolemaic reign, and she was determined to do so by whatever means were necessary. Cleopatra VII did not know, as she readied her forces for battle, that the two Romans with whom she would cast her lot during this struggle would change her life forever--and secure her place in world history.

  • We are wired that way. A story, if broken down into the simplest form, is a connection of cause and effect. And that is exactly how we think.
  • Why does the format of a story, where events unfold one after the other, have such a profound impact on our learning?
  • A story can put your whole brain to work.
  • Exchange giving suggestions for telling stories
  • a story is the only way to activate parts in the brain so that a listener turns the story into their own idea and experience.
  • Write more persuasively—bring in stories from yourself or an expert
  • The next time you struggle with getting people on board with your projects and ideas, simply tell them a story, where the outcome is that doing what you had in mind is the best thing to do.
  • The simple story is more successful than the complicated one

    This website discusses the importance of storytelling when teaching new material to a class. We felt like when most people think of storytelling they only think of teaching in that method to younger kids but it can actually be beneficial to all ages. We thought this website had a lot of good reasons and facts as to why storytelling can be beneficial in the classroom.

    A good story can make or break a presentation, article, or conversation. But why is that? When Buffer co-founder Leo Widrich started to market his product through stories instead of benefits and bullet points, sign-ups went through the roof. Here he shares the science of why storytelling is so uniquely powerful.

    This website goes into detail about what Project Based Learning is. This is a great tool other than the textbook to get a complete grasp on the concept. Not only does it describe PBL as "a teaching method in which students gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to an authentic, engaging and complex question, problem, or challenge", but it also provides steps to follow when creating an engaging PBL assignment lesson plan. These steps include: Key Knowledge, Challenging Problem, Sustained Inquiry, Authenticity, Student Voice & Choice, Reflection, Critique & Revision, and Public Product. Following this list of steps and making sure the lesson plan provides all of these points will make for an engaging class. Another component this website contains is a blog for educators to post about the Project Based lessons they implemented in the classroom. I believe sharing ideas with other teachers is one of the most helpful ways to improve your own teaching because you receive feedback and encouragement to what you are doing well, and what can be changed for the benefit of the class.

    "Cult of Pedagogy" is a website and a place for teachers to unite and explore ideas together through a blog, podcast, and posts. The main page goes into detail about what Project Based Learning entails. This website uses the analogy "project based learning, the content is baked inside of a long-term project, a real-world problem students need to solve in a creative and authentic way. In the process of solving the problem, students also meet required standards, but this work is integrated into the project, not separate from it". This is a key component in understanding PBL because it is more than just solving a basic math problem. The really cool thing about this website is that it connects the viewer to a podcast called "Cult of Pedagogy". Teacher's can listen to this broadcast to get ideas about teaching and PBL. There is also a tab for teaching materials. The materials included are e-book template, google drive basics, and icebreakers that all educators can utilize when implementing Project Based Learning into their classroom. Overall, this is a great tool created by an educator for all.
