Hello Everyone!

This week we have returned from a week off for thanksgiving. I hope that everyone enjoyed their time away from school and are ready for a solid run until winter break.

This week we have continued our routines and practicing essential skills in reading, critical thinking and writing.

We spent much of this week working on critical reading and writing in relation to texts. We discussed the structure and society in medieval Europe. We talked about the feudal system, and manor system and where the majority of people fell within the class system.

We discussed the black death, the impact of disease and how it started to change the world that the medieval people knew.

Next week we will continue to explore the medieval world and its sociality. We will explore some of the major factors that make up its worldview such as religion and geography and we will introduce one the of leading factors of the Renaissance, The Silk Road.

Have a great weekend.
