Classroom assignments

Tuesday 29 November 2011
We discussed some of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. I hope you will read it again when you are in the 10th or 11th grade. Then we corrected the work that we had to do over break.  For those of you who chose NOT to do the work, it is a zero, except for Luke, who was absent.
Next, for those who remembered to bring their book to class, (only 2!!!) we looked at Anna Of Byzantium.  We looked at the map of the Byzantium Empire and at the family tree of Anna.  Remember this is a book of fiction, the author made up some of the things she writes about.  However, these people actually DID exist.
We looked at our history book at pg. 131 #3.  Using the Justinian Code laws we were given in class, we need to write a comparison paragraph.
You need to order the next 2 books now.  Because it is Christmas time, the UPS is swamped and the books may take longer than usual to arrive.  Please don't wait like some of you have been doing.  You guys are missing out on a lot of information because you are coming to class unprepared.
