Today I did a demonstration of an oral presentation and a visual presentation. I provided a set of class notes as well. This was done to provide you with an example of the what we will be doing in class tomorrow. The rest of the class was time for people to work on their respective projects. Tomorrow, we begin the presentations!

Today was a work period. Groups have their topics and people have their tasks - oral presentation, visual presentation or class notes. I distributed and discussed a rubric for the oral presentations. Remember that on Thursday you need to be ready to present your information.

Today we began the unit on the Middle Ages. We read chapters 11 and 12 - students were responsible for creating a set of brief notes (5 W's) on this topic. We divided into groups and held a draw. Groups selected topics for research. Each group will be responsible for an oral presentation, a visual presentation and a set of class notes on their topic. This will be due on Thursday.
