I hope everyone had a delicious Thanksgiving! Now on to diets!!!
Today, in class, we reviewed what we had read before Thanksgiving break. We corrected the work we had to do on Alaric the Visogoth. Some of you didn't have the work. That is going down as a zero except for Luke, who was absent. We went over in detail The Justinian Codes. You received a simplified copy of some of the laws in the code.
After that we worked on building the castle.

Today, I collected the homework assigned and any "late" work. Then we watched "Camelot" and I was very impressed at how you guys really TRIED to hide you disgust at the musical! Musicals are really a good way to present something and luckily Lerner and Loew were adept at writing catchy tunes. I hope you took notof the costumes, the scenery and the people presented. it is quite a contrast with the video "The Dark Ages." Keep that in mind as you go in to the next part of this grading period. It is extemely important!
You have some homework for Monday November 28.
I hope each and very one of you has a wonderfully blessed Thanksgiving and that the real reason for the day is to be thankful for all our blessings. I think we have a greater understanding of how blessed we are after reading about all the persecutions and evils of the first century as well as what is going on in the world today!
Don't eat too much!
Your assignments are:
28 November 2011
1."Alaric the Visogoth" worksheet: a. define the two vocabulary words.
b. answer questions 4-6. (Remember the video "The Dark Ages"
where they talked about his conquering of Rome)
Use the Internet to get theanswers to the questions if you need to. Just "google" Alaric.

Where does the time go? We got much accomplished today, but we have so much yet to do! After we corrected our maps and crossqword puzzles, we began the task of creating a Medieval Castle. We each got a part of the castle to assemble. We have lots more to do. We will get back to it after Thanksgiving. I was so proud of all of you for having completed the Memory Cards and the Wall of Fame by today. I really appreciate the ones you brought to class even though thye are not due for another 4-5 weeks! At least we all know we are doing the work on time, right? We did not get a chance to present our persuasion speeches or our sports announcements. We will try to do that on Friday. Come prepared, please.
On Friday we are going to watch the entire DVD of "Camelot." I think you will enjoy it. There is some singing in it. I might fast forward through it, but I am not promising anything! I mainly want you to see the costumes and the scenery. It will help you visualize A Connecticut Yankee.. better to see this movie. I might even bring you some popcorn!

Class Assignment
Tuesday 8 November 2011
In class today we shared our "On Becoming a Knight Duties" and which one we would choose and why. You guys did a remakable job on that assignment! We reviewed Lesson 23, read lesson 24 and discussed both. Everyone brought in their report cards so everyone got an extra 100 today for a daily grade! Good job!
Remember the "blues" and "greens" were very similar to our "gangs" of the 21st century so fellows as you are thinking about sportscasting them, they were not nice people! All the work assigned today that needs to be presented in class will be on Tuesday. However, the paragraph will be turned in on Friday, so get it done!!
Let your parents know that we are going to the Veteran's Day parade on Friday. We will be helping the children in Mrs. Machtley's class walk to the parade. Mrs. Machtley and Mrs. Dinkins will be going also. It is a 2 block walk to Carteret Street where we will view the parade. If any of your parents want to join us, they may! We will leave the church at 9:45 and probably return around 10:45 am. Gang, remember that I told you to be on your best behavior, please.

Class Assitnments
Friday 4 November 2011
The church bazaar is over! We can get back to normal again! Sarah, I hope you had a wonderful birthday and that you girls did not drive your mother crazy!!!
We got our report cards today. They were placed in sealed envelopes for the parents. Make sure your parents get them, sign them, and you bring them back on Tuesday, please. You get extra credit for this and it is a 100 daily grade. Don't forget!
Today we watched "The Dark Ages" in class. It is a History Channel documentary, and it is very informative. It gave us an accurate picture of how different these times are from ours. Some of it was pretty gruesome. We need to be thankful we didn't live in those times!
Remember on your homework on the duties of the page, squire, and knight: DO NOT MAKE ANY MISTAKES! You can write it in pencil on the colored paper and then trace it in black pen, but then erase it GENTLY so the pencil marks don't show up. I will count off for any scratch overs or mistakes. Be careful!
For the last part, I would write it out on paper first before writing it in the box.
The homework assignment is:
8 November 2011
1. Get report cards signed.
2. Re-read Lesson 23.
3. Pg. 127: 23B: #2: You each got a piece of colored paper Friday. Read the directions on page 127 again. Using a BLACK pen, transfer your information to the colored paper AFTER you have made complete sentences of your lists then made those sentences in to paragraphs. Label each box with a title. Make sure you have all the duties of each one!
4. In the fourth square, which should be blank, answer this question: Which would you choose to be and why?

Class assignment
Tuesday 1 November 2011
I enjoyed our discussion in class today. As long as you don't all talk at the same time or amongst yourselves then we can do that more often. It is up to you! Don't get mad at me, but I need for you to read Lesson 23. I cannot find anywhere that I told you to read it before so I am telling you, now, to read it, please. It is about King Arthur and his round table and I think you will enjoy it. Sarah, make sure you do the "hour candle," please.
Please bring a BLACK writing pen to class on Friday.
You will get your report cards in class on Friday.
If your parent(s) have not ordered your book, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, please encourage them to do so today.
Your assignments are:
Wednesday 2 November 2011
1. Pg. 127: 23B: #2. Remember I told you to use notebook paper and to list the duties. Please Do NOT file this. I want you to bring it to class. Please note when you are completing this assignment that it asks you the duties of a page and squire, then it asks you how to become a knight. So these answers are very different, indeed. Use a black writing pen.
