Dear Students,
I am so happy you are responding so well to our new material and like the Geography and map studies. Next week we will add a new component. Will you please locate and cut out at least 3 articles (or more) about one or more of the Mideast countries in the news. Use news magazines and newspapers, get them on line or at a news store and cut them out. Do not paste in notebook yet as we will share them as we decide what topic within one country each of you is interested in finding more information about. We need these for Friday the 12th.
For Tuesday add Iran, Israel, and Jordan to your reading (pp.18-19; 8-9; and Jordan. In the Student Guide, do pp. 10,5, and 6. Then add thee three countries to the larger map I gave you. Please color in the countries using the same colors you used on the first day for each of them.. That's all folks!!
All of you seem to love the stories love the stories of the myths and so are enjoying The Trojan War. Please finish the last two chapters of the .Prologue. Also do up to and including p.12 in
Student Guide. Anyone doing the drawings will receive extra credit. Please use unlined paper. You can make smaller images and put several on a page. Add 4-5 sentences about that character. I have an idea for the non artists in the group on another way to do these charts. Tell you Tuesday.
Have fun. Mrs. B

Homework and other matters:
I enjoyed welcoming you all to school! New students and familiar ones grouped together and did the kind of work we will do all year. Our first classes went well and I enjoyed introducing you to both courses. I gave you as best as I could an idea of what the courses entail as well as some of the processes we will be using to learn. Some of the material is based on what you already know but stretches your learning beyond that into new and interesting areas of knowledge.
This blog will have your daily assignments as well as the book list and any other useful material you may need along the way.
