HISTORY: Marco Polo

I think we are almost completely caught up on make up work from all the "sickness" going around.
Some of you worked on a short book report about Marco Polo that you will present to your class this Monday. I'm very excited to see what you all have written.

Monday, we will have our presentation of our book reports about Marco Polo. We will then start a reading packet: Marco Polo: Project

This reading packet will discuss many of Marco Polo's many adventures and will also contain excerpts from his book "The Travels of Marco Polo".  At the end you will draw a picture of one of the many scenes described in his book.

Tuesday, you will have a new reading packet. Take out your high-lighter's, its a keyword packet! Middle Ages, Reformation and Renaissance: Project 2 - The Nomads of the Heartland and the Mongol Empire

Wednesday, we will finish up any work not completed on our "keyword" packet and review for our test over this lesson.

Thursday, Marco Polo Test!

Friday, we will map out Marco's travels on a map!

Don't forget this week I will be giving out 2 hole punches for those of you who turn in your secret message on Monday.
