Today, we took our quiz with our partner and created the quilt.

Sadly, QUITE A FEW PEOPLE WERE ABSENT TODAY.

Look at poor Colin, saddened because his partner – AARON- is absent today. He failed because you were absent today.

You can take the quiz as many times as you need – just make sure that you LEARN the material rather than just trying to get a 100.

After the quiz was over, we made the quilt and worked on the name quilt patch:

Afterwards, we watched Terry Jones’ The Peasant. Let me know if you want to watch more of this series.

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?
