Question

ok so i really need help with this for my FLVS

Answer 1

Imagine your city builds a new high school. Half the students at your current high school will have to attend the new one next year. You are one of them. The school board calls a meeting to name the new school and select a mascot for its extracurricular programs. One meeting turns into several as emotions run high.

Everyone has a different opinion on the name and mascot for the school. Some people favor naming it after a historical figure. Yet no one can agree on which one. Others think it should reflect local culture. People have suggested animals ranging from ants to yaks for the mascot.

Everyone agrees that the choices are important and will affect the reputation and morale at the new school.
A.Imagine yourself as an upcoming senior who will have to attend the new school. You have been given the floor for two to three minutes to share your feelings with the school board and attendees of the meeting. As you take the microphone you must answer questions 1 through 4 within your two- to three-minute commentary. Remember that your objective is to persuade your audience. Please be sure that you are writing in complete sentences.
1.How would you name the school? What would be its mascot? Explain your choices.
2.Why do you think symbols like a name or mascot are so important to the people of the city?
Why would it be important to the students?
3.What are two goals you could recommend the new principal to consider when opening up the
new school?
4.Identify two challenges that principal may have in achieving those goals?
B.Now answer the following reflection questions, making sure to include information from the lesson. Again, be sure that you are writing in complete sentences.
1.How does this controversy relate to the development of the Byzantine Empire?
2.How does this controversy differ from issues in the Byzantine Empire?

Answer 14

1. for the reflection questions

Answer 15

Byzantium or Constantinople? A Second Rome or a Hellenistic Empire? Greek or Latin? Orthodox or Catholic?
Constantine founded the city named after him as the Second Rome. Byzantium is derived from the original fishing village. He intended it to be a mirror of the first at a time when the Empire had become too big for one man. The problem was that the Eastern Empire was stubbornly Hellenistic in culture, Greek was the lingua franca not Latin the official language, and frankly the East rather thought the West somewhat uncivilised.
Even in the Church certain divisions persisted. Greek was more subtle than Latin and some formulations regarding the Trinity and Christ's divinity were more nuanced in the Orthodox Church. The Pope claimed primacy over the whole Church, but it hardly suited the Eastern Emperor to have a Western Pope, out of his reach, lay down Church Law. The Patriarch demurred.
The old Rome collapses under the pressure of barbarian invasions, despite intervention from the Eastern Empire. The Pope gains an independence largely due to the lack of secular authority which affects the future history of Catholicism. The new barbarian leaders harbour ambitions to recreate the Western Empire in their own image.

Answer 16

alot right? but it should help you

Answer 17

now two of the reflections

Answer 18

The Byzantine empire was the Roman empire. The term "Byzantine" was coined by historians to denote the eastern part of the Roman Empire, after the fall of the western part of the Roman Empire. The term is derived from the Greek city of Byzantium, which was redeveloped and renamed Constantinople and turned into the capital of the east. It is used as an indication to the fact that not long after the fall of the western part of the empire this part of the empire became centred on Greece and Greek in character with the loss of most of its non-Greek territories. Greek replaced Latin as the official language of this empire in 620, some 140 years after the fall of the west.

Answer 26

Here is part B. Please do not copy word for word. I got 100% on this.

Part B
Similar to the example of the school spitting, the Roman Empire was permanently split into East and West due to widening cultural differences and powerful disagreements over which political center had the authority to rule over the Roman Church. The Byzantine Empire in the east thrived while the west declined. The east thrived because they continued Roman law and traditions and codified Roman laws while removing conflicting, duplicated, and outdated Roman laws. They also continued Roman culture by combining it with aspects of peoples closer to Constantinople. The Byzantine Empire became a melting pot, where Eastern and Western cultures merged.
In the school example, the splitting of the school and rezoning is most likely due to over population not conflict. The formation of a new school gives the community the chance to name and determine the mascot and goals. One would hope the new school would be like the Byzantine Empire, a melting pot where it would combine old traditions and values with new.
