We finished our review game of the Unit-Closure Work Page on empires. Please note that it is time to do the empires E.Q. writing; this unit I am going to give you the option of staying, for now, with your world religion writing score OR taking the option to do the empires writing for which we are all ready and poised to begin. The writing assignment is set up in Google Classroom for you with due date if you are interested and you are welcome to see me during Advisory and/or to email me for any one-on-one support or questions that you'd like. We viewed the first 5 scenes of Monty Python's Holy Grail as a humorous hook into our Medieval transition into the next unit of "Modern Europe." (It is a 1970s British humor sort of like Will Ferrell's current work on the U.S.) In 5th hour we completed a note page with discussion to pivot from that humor to a serious historical fact-check and perspective of facts; print one out or pick one up from the room and then get the notes and explanations from a reliable classmate. (We will do this Monday in 3rd hour.) In 5th hour we also added a few things to our Mental Map Timeline.
