-used pruning knives on their olive vines and trees
-got horses to trample corn to separate grains and husks
-farms had many slaves working on them
The Romans used pruning knives on the olive vines and trees that were planted in their yards. They got their horses to trample corn to separate the grains and husks. The farmers had many slaves working for them. The slaves wore metal tags incase they ran away and were captured. The slaves were kept in line by a steward, who was also a slave. Most of the Roman farmers were short, meaning their african slaves were bigger than them. The servants and slaves were called plebs.

To start off with, the way I did this project might be a bit confusing, so I'll tell you how I did it. First, I typed out the facts I had collected. Then I took a few of the facts, and wrote them into sentences. I continued to do that for the remainder of the facts, then I copied the sentences and pasted them at the bottom of the page.
I don't like how this page turned out. My sentences sound like I'm simply writing facts in sentences, they don't flow smoothly either, which is something I'll have to work on.
While rereading this, I learned that I need to practice changing facts to sentences.
I think the books I got the information of the Romans out of are good sources, because books can't be changed like the internet. Once a book is published, not all of the books can be recalled.
