Update from the Kingdom of Fun

Humanities 8
We are having a blast learning about the Middle Ages so far. We've been paying our taxes in M&Ms, watching some cool historical videos, and preparing skits for Monday. The manor map was due earlier this week, some folks still haven't handed it in yet!

Humanities 9
Most students have signed out their novels for our Global Awareness novel study. Lots of choices of books for every reading level. We will be having literature circles every Thursday for the next 4 Thursdays and an assignment of some sort will be due that day as well as the required reading. Students are to complete 1 novel in the next 4 weeks, minimum. I'm encouraging students to try to read more than one to get a broader perspective of the unit.
