We read the story about Morgan le Fay attempt to kill Arthur and steal the crown for herself – it was pages 29-40. Riley did not give us an additional assignment for the reading today: she let us finish up our research.

When you turn your sources in, remember – you need six annotated sources. That means that you need to take notes and/or highlight the important information in the article. If all you do is turn in a list of six links, you will only get half credit. If you sent your pages to OneNote, publish the page, and then send it to LMS. You can turn all six sources in one drop box posting.

We finished the quests from King Arthur’s wedding and read about Merlin’s death- pages 95-111.

Then, we did a circle foldable that Riley is calling the Round Table. Cut them out. The cover will be the one that looks like Pac-Man and the divided one is where you will write your sentences.

•Cover – Illustrate the three quests (make sure your name is on it)
•3 sentences summarizing The Wedding – 85-91
•3 sentences summarizing Gawain’s quest -91-95
•3 sentences summarizing Torre’s quest – 95-100
•3 sentences summarizing Pellinore’s quest – 100-105
 
Make sure you are still working on the research – that is due on Friday!

Ahoy, mateys!

We read 85-95 about Arthur’s wedding. After that, Riley gave the class instructions over the Arthurian interview. The example and the instructions are in LMS, but here are a few hints:

  • You have to research before you write the script.
  • You can use the questions provided to help you

Print your sources to OneNote (or wherever – just don’t waste paper) and I’d suggest highlighting the answers and other interesting information.

Once you get the information done, you will turn that information and start writing your script. Write this as if your character is on a talk show – you can choose the talk show and the host. Riley used Ellen DeGeneres as her host, but you can choose someone else.

Write the script with the host asking questions and making comments,and during the conversations, the facts that you researched will be be discussed.

Make sure you that show voice in your script – if you want an example, look at Riley’s example (Greek god) in LMS.

If you have questions, post away here!

Today, we a good chunk: pages 39-54. It is FULL of drama, incest, fighting, and dishonor. Yep, yep.

After that, we did a MYSTERY ASSIGNMENT. Whooooooo. You can do this either by yourself or with a partner. You can do the Mystery Assignment (whoooooooo) on the computer, on paper, on construction paper, or even on posterboard. Your choice.

We sneezed today (Bless You!) about qualities that we would want our boss to have.

Then, we read from pages 12-22. It didn’t take that long, and after we finished reading, we did the Pro/Con Foldable in LMS. There are four slides where you go over the reasons Arthur SHOULD be king (pros)  and reasons why Arthur should NOT be king (cons) and finally, the last slide is your opinion on whether Arthur should be king or not.

  • Slide one –

King Arthur

I just got back from the library today getting books to research a unit on Arthurian legend for the upcoming school year.

I wonder if using my phone will allow me to update more frequently.

I have a whole new classroom that I want to implement this year, but we’ll see if it all actually happens.

I want to add a whole bunch of components so people can use their smartphones in class. I’ve been searching apps all summer so far. I wish Angel LMS had an app.
