We watched a video in Riley’s class today! A VIDEO! The first one of the term! It aws about peasants in the Middle Ages. It was funny, but in a weird sort of way. It had a peasant fart on a noble! And they had to boil eveything they are back then that came out of the ground because they used human excrement (poop) as fertilizer. Yum.

We answered the questions over the video in LMS, and Riley expressly said that she wasn’t taking late work on this. It was today or never, because she didn’t want people to have a cheat fest.

Then, we spent the rest of the day working on the quilt. On the name patches, each partnered answered the following questions under the flap:

1. What did I find interesting?

2. What would I like to learn more about?

3. What do I still have questions over?

4. Anything else Riley needs to know? Suggestions for improvement? What worked well?

Pretty much, we just finished up our Quilts today and took a quiz with our partner. If you were absent yesterday, you just had to read all the sections by yourself, write down four nuggest for each section, and then take the quiz on your own.

Remember, we are now in a new “unit” – The Canterbury Tales. We are no longer Beowulf. If you still owe daily work from Beowulf, it will only be worth half credit.

We have completed a major writing assignment (Beo-Boast) and a major test grade (Metaphorical Response).

Make sure that you are at least Level 3: Cook on Monday!
