Welcome back! I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. This week we are going to start our discussion about Europe in the Middle Ages. We will start by taking a brief overview of the time period following the fall of Rome on Monday. On Tuesday, we will get creative and will be designing our own family crests, so if you know your family history and where they come from, come up with ideas about what represents them. In the past, I've had everything from Lions to lolly pops. It's an activity that the students always enjoy because they get to just create something about themselves. On Wednesday we will start answering questions about the day to day life in this period and about how those who rule impact those lives. We will be in the library on Thursday for our last time before their papers are due on Friday (Nov 30th). The students should be in the writing phase of their paper now. On Friday, papers are due and we will begin taking a look at one of the most important events in our history, the Crusades.

Hey all! This week we will start by discussing Veteran's Day and taking a look at a few recruits going through boot camp! On Wednesday, we will have our Unit 3 Section 2 test on Islam and Africa. On Thursday we are headed back to the library to work on our research for our papers which are due on November 30th! On Friday, we will start our look at Europe in the Middle Ages.
Hey all! First, I'm still out of town for one more day. On Monday you will be working on a map of Africa...labeled and colored of course. On Tuesday, we will continue our work with the African kingdoms and finish out our bellringer sheet. On Wednesday we will start our notes on Islam and Africa. These notes will be much shorter than previous notes. The main reason for this is because I feel like we have a good deal of supplement material on Africa to use that will help fill in the blanks that are left by the lack of primary source material. On Thursday, we will be headed to the library to allow students some class time to spend on their paper. I'll try to get some time in the library next week as well if possible. On Friday, we will finish our notes in preparation for our test sometime next week (I will need to take a look at how we need to test...new territory here).
