Daily Life

2008-04-24 18:27:34

I really enjoyed that lesson today. I found it very interesting, largely because of all of your enthusiasm. I see so much progress in your note taking, discussion contributions, and overall knowledge. Lessons like today really makes me proud of you guys.

That journal on daily life is due on Monday (I know, we don't have ss7 on Monday, but trust me - you don't want to delay until after the camping trip).

Remember, you can do a traditional journal, or you can challenge yourself to express the information while explaining if you would rather be an Athenian Male/Female or Spartan Male/Female.

Don't forget to refer to your rubrics while writing.
