11/10

Monday:
6th graders discussed Athens and Sparta from Ancient Greece; homework was to write down three insightful questions that all of us should be able to answer about Ancient Greece. We also had some activities about Veterans Day.

Concentration: We started with the Lesson (13) on podcasting, then had an optional Lesson (12) on instant messaging. Lastly we began planning our own podcast; the podcast planning sheet is to be completed for homework.

7th graders did an Ancient Egypt webquest using the following sites (IN ORDER):
Guardian's Sphinx
Wild Egypt
Gods & Goddesses
Mummies
Mystery Pyramid

After answering the questions, you may explore both the above sites AND these others:
Mummy Quiz at National Geographic
