This assignment's purpose is to prepare you for college by engaging you, intellectually, with material on a college freshman level. The material that comes before you needs not only to be read, but to be understood. Some words will be unfamiliar to you. What do you do when encountering such challenges? The answer is not to skim or skip or get the Cliff Notes. The answer is to read slowly and carefully, discuss the material with your peers, when possible, and use strategies such as figuring out word meanings using contextual clues, knowledge of suffixes and prefixes, and knowledge of root words.
We read PBS's Frontline documentary on Christianity's Legitimization Under Constantine. We read the first section, "The Path to Victory" together as a class, and discussed its meaning. Then we split into groups, with each group taking a section to interpret and explain to the class. Each group is required to turn in a written version of their interpretation of the text.
