Nov. 3 - Nov. 6

Tuesday: We did a SAFE (Safe and Friendly Environment)week activity that looked at how the media can influence teens. It was part of a week long, school-wide focus on creating a safe and friendly environment.

Wednesday: I had a substitute. Students watched a video (Islam: Empire of Faith, The Awakening) and worked on a map of the spread of Islam.

Thursday: Students worked on a timeline of the spread of Islam.

Friday: Students continued to work on the timeline. I collected notebooks. The assignments I'll grade are:

10. Spread of Islam 661 map and questions
11. Monotheistic Belief Systems
12. Islam as a way of life: The 5 pillars
13. Chapter 3, Lesson 3 Reading Guide
14. Islam: Empire of Faith, The Awakening
15. Islamic Empire physical map 800 CE
16. Timeline Fill-ins

There will be a test next Friday. I'll have study guides ready Monday.
