One of the biggest projects in the middle school is the Rome Project. At the start of this project, we dug our topic out of a bag. We were allowed to trade if we wanted to, but most people that got what was considered a "good" topic did not, obviously. Luckily, I was one of those people. The Colosseum was one of the only topics that I knew about which was probably the exact opposite of what my teacher wanted, seeing as this project is about learning new things.
