This week we began our unit on the Middle Ages in Europe.
Monday: We watched a segment of the History Channel's "The Dark Ages" about the fall of Rome. Students then worked on a map of European geographic features.
Tuesday: We continued "The Dark Ages." Students also worked on a reading guide (pp. 291-293).
Wednesday: Students were assigned a geographic feature from Monday's map. They began creating a "greetings from ____________________" postcard combining a picture of themselves and an existing image of the geographic feature they were assigned.
Thursday: Students continued the postcard assignment. They will add the postcard to a two slide Powerpoint presentation that they create. The second slide will contain information about the geographic feature.
Friday: Students finished and handed in the two-slide powerpoint. They were also assigned a reading guide covering pp. 293-297. Both reading guides will be checked for completion on Monday.
