While I am at MUN . . .

Roby

I know many of you will be on the ski trip the day of class, but you are still responsible to complete the Medieval Review Sheet and the map. All of you should have the map by now and Arianne said she would give all of you who were absent the review sheet.

Please, be ready for the Medieval Test on February 6th and have the completed map and review sheet with you too.

Lycee

While I am away, you will be completing a lesson about the differences between life in a medieval village and a town. You will do this the first hour of class and will then do the review sheet and map the second hour of class.

Your test is scheduled for February 8. Thsi date may changes, however. It depends on the field trip that we are still organizing. I will let you know.

American Day (Lycee)

Lycee -

This Friday, January 11, is American Day. That means that your entire presentation must be ready to go by the time our first class meets at 9:50am.

We will meet in room #311 and then I will direct you and your "teacher" (myself, Mr. Lynch or Mrs. Hamery) to the appropriate room.

If you realize you need anything or if you need my help in any way, please let me know. Feel free to email me or drop me a note in my mailbox.

Extra Credit
Though protected by the USA Constitution, some Amerincas have been discriminated against and/or even persecuted because of their religious choice.

For extra credit, find a current event article in the USA where religious choice was not so "free". In other words, find a case in the USA where someone was discriminated and/or persecuted because of their religious choice.

Write a summary of the article. Be sure to explain how their first amendment right was violated.
