The line between Language Arts and Social Studies will be a bit blurry this week as we REALLY delve in to the Feudal System of the Middle Ages. Prepare yourselves for a bit of silliness- and a lot of learning! You'll be assigned to a new table group where you will act as Lord, Knight, Peasant, or Serf for the next several weeks. One lucky student in each block will also be assigned the role of Pope (and we all know how important that role was in the Middle Ages!). We'll be reading a lot from our silly floppy S.S. textbook that will help us to understand much of the plot in our L.A. novel Crispin.
Important things you need to know this week:
Monday is our test on religions BE SURE TO HAVE YOUR NOTES,
We'll be in the library Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday researching our first big project,
All book orders will be collected Monday, and the order will be submitted before 6th period.

Week of September 21-25
In Language Arts we will begin reading our novel, Crispin. This is a novel set in Medieval Times. It's got a great moral message as well as targeting several of our recently studied reading skills like, character, plot, imagery, and metaphor. I really think you guys will like it.
In Social Studies we'll begin reading our textbook about Western Europe. We'll get a little deeper into the geography of the area. We'll also put our new two-column note taking skills to use!
I'm looking forward to another great week with my SUPER SEVIES!
top secret extra credit: come to school WEDNESDAY (9/23) with a personal item to share with the class. Yep, that's right! It's show and tell day!!! (10pts)
