Well, today we tried on chain mail. Not chain mail like as in e-mail chain mail, but the armor that the Anglo-Saxons used to wear. Riley took pictures of us wearing it and everything!

After that, we did a “magnet card” over chain mail. We had to write chain mail in the center of the index card, then use four other words to helpd describe chain mail. On the back of the card, we then used all five of the words to write a sentence (or two) to define what chain mail is.

We then talked about what EPIC means. We sneezed over epic fails or epic wins. The captain talked about her friend and the cherrybomb (M-80)! LOLOLOLOL.

Then we read about what an epic was from the textbook. Yawn. I remembered doing that in 9th grade with the Odyssey, but to be honest, I don’t remember anything about an epic. Let’s see if this sticks with me.

Then we watched The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny. AWESOME! Then we had to respond to Riley’s blog post about what made it epic. I had to use the information from the textbook to help me complete it. Just have IE and OneNote up at the same time.

We closed class with a little dude (That Riley STOLE from Pair – leave it to a pirate to steal!) You had to think of your own epic hero and fill out a little diagram about him/her. Pretty easy, but just make sure that you place and object in the hand of your epic hero/heroine.

And here comes Tuesday!
