Wednesday, Nov. 9

Today I spoke about the "Cultural Advances of the Abbasids," while students filled in a note page. I introduced an upcoming project that we will begin tomorrow. Students will create an animated "commercial" explaining the importance of Baghdad in the 800s. With remaining time students finished the map of the Abbasid Empire.

THERE WILL BE A UNIT TEST NEXT THURSDAY. SEE STUDY GUIDE BELOW.
