Leaving Denmark and Beowulf’s funeral, we finally approached the coast of England. We hoisted our flags and were completely surprised that we were attacked – by French ships? French? What are French doing in our land? To figure that out, we have to do a little research.

Today, we started out doing Middle Aged Spiders. This is simply just a collection of graphic organizers based off of the Middle Ages history in BB.

Go to Canterbury Tales and download Middle Ages Background for Spider.

Print it OneNote. Skim sections to look for the FOUR MOST IMPORTANT words from each section. Then, write down one short sentence explaining why it’s so important.

Honestly, I found it easiest to highlight the most important words as I read – it helped me when I was choosing words and writing about them.

During the last ten minutes, we talked about three extra credit opportunities that you have available to you: the Magna Carta, writing your own Magna Carta, and the French Scavenger Hunt. If you go to BB, you can see there is an extra credit spot. You can turn these in up until the day of the final exam.

I will not accept extra credit from people if you are missing any major work.
