The Road Ahead....

We are nearing the end of our unit of Medieval Life. Now that we have completed the video on the first crusade, we will look at the impact of those crusades on life in Europe as it developed into a region dominated by powerful monarchies.

As for HOMEWORK:

All classes have a Crusade letter due on Monday.

For COMP and ADVANCED classes:

We will check and review the readings you did last week, up through CH 13 section 4, which you completed last night. Tonight you will have a handout to complete (2 sided) and:

Wednesday: Rough Draft your Coat of Arms.

Thursday-Monday: Crusade letter.

Last Minute Update

There will not be a quiz on Friday. Instead we will review the vocabulary, and discuss the things we noted in our "DURING" column, relative to the video on the Franks. Of course if for any reason we have not finished that then we will do that first. There will be homework over the weekend in addition to the quiz. The homework will be collected and graded out of 25 points.

Be sure to check the blog over the weekend as well!

See you tomorrow
