Sept. 29 and 30 and Oct. 1 and 2

Tuesday Sept. 29: I had a substitute on Tuesday. Students watched Engineering an Empire (part III) and did a fill in the blanks (reteaching activity) worksheet on Chapter 2, Lesson 2. (assignments 14 and 15)

Sept. 30: We discussed the definition of an obituary and students created an obituary for the Roman Empire with an illustration. Students also had time to work on their spoke diagrams. (The obituary was assignment # 16)

Oct. 1: Students did a map of the Byzantine Empire under Justinian and worked on their spoke diagram.

Oct. 2: I lectured about emperors Diocletian, Constantine and Justinian while students filled in a note page (#18). Students then completed and turned in their spoke diagrams digitally. THEY ARE NOW DUE. The written element for this project is due on Monday. I DID NOT COLLECT NOTEBOOKS. New assignments that should be in their notebooks (glued in, and in order) are:

13. The Fall of the Roman Empire Fill-ins
14. Engineering an Empire III
15. Chapter 2, Lesson 2 Re-teaching Activity (11 fill-ins)
16. Obituary for the Roman Empire
17. Byzantine Empire Map
18. 3 Emperors to Know lecture fill-ins

There will be a test in about a week (Oct. 14 or 15). I'll provide a study guide ASAP.
