Breaking News!

     The broadcasts today were amazing! The teams did a fantastic job reporting the important information, such as, dates, location, and facts. I was really impressed. You all brought humor to your broadcasts as well. That was fun! I hope you learned something too!

Team two started us off with a report on The American Revolution.

Great job Team Two! Excellent information and participation. There was also a bit of sword fighting. Who can resist a sword? Luckily Elizabeth wasn't hurt too badly:)

Team three reported on the Battle of Culloden. They really got into their props!

      Yes, that is a "kilt"! Very funny!

And the "Jakeobite" died. He fought a hard battle, but the British won:(

Team one finished the broadcast off with the French Revolution.

They had very nice background music playing too.

Great information and lots of laughs!

We clearly have a lot of good actors in our class. You did a great job stating facts while making us laugh. The "behind" the scenes was pretty funny too.


Homework:
1. Read Unit 21
2. Draw or print flag from 8 different countries. Explain the meaning behind each flag, why they chose the symbol and colors, and any other important information about he country. You will get extra points for your team if you hand draw the flags.
3. Come up with an idea of a western art piece you want to re-create next week. We will be doing this in class, but it will be helpful if you have an idea of what you want to create. You can choose mosaic or an art piece. This will be a "blind" challenge. (what T.V. show is that from?) Extra points if you know the answer!

Have a great week!
