We have another modified schedule this week for SBAC testing.

World Geography
Mon. 5/18 -- No class for World Geography
Tue. 5/19 -- Introduce Australia and New Zealand. "Speaking Australian" team contest form. Map of Australia and New Zealand.
Wed. 5/20 -- Travel project on Australia and New Zealand. You will need to sign up for a topic and pick up directions if you are absent. Essentially you will sign up for one of Australia's or New Zealand's regions and find two interesting places to travel. You will present one place to the class and have a small picture print-out to attach to our travel map. Presentations on Friday.
Thur. 5/21 -- No School
Fri 5/22 -- Travel Presentations
Ancient Medieval
Mon. 5/18 -- Today we will cover the Battle of Hastings. First a quick summary of the battle in the classroom, then outside to divide into Normans, Vikings and Saxons to re-create the battle. We will charge through the basic battle plan a few times. Then up to the room to watch a bit of "Battlefield Britain - Hastings." This is available from u-tube and you can watch at home. It is 59 minutes long, but you can start at 35:00 to see the main battle between the Saxons and Normans.
