Oct. 1 and Oct. 4

Friday: Students were given a map of the Byzantine Empire that was due on Friday. I also collected the Legacy of Rome Packet #2. Over the weekend students were to write a postcard from the ancient city of Constantinople.

Monday: I collected the postcard assignment, and passed back their Legacy of Rome #2 packets. We began a timeline of Roman history as a class. It will be due tomorrow and class time will be provided. I also passed out a study guide for THURSDAY's test (see below).
