In Social Studies 7 - The Silk Road (China to Africa) - We will examine how civilizations of the Middle Ages interacted with each other through trade, technology, ideas, and the arts. Each students will be assigned one of several cities along trade routes from Timbuktu in Africa, Venice, Istanbul, Baghdad, Samarkand, Xian, and others to examine how cities were supported by trade and technology, as well as track each city’s history and political changes.
In Language Arts 7 - We will start continue the Contro Topics unit. We will form one of seven groups that will each research a shared topic, examine both side of complex arguments, find relevant supporting evidence. Each group member will write supporting pieces that illustrate both sides of the issue, then each member will be randomly assigned to debate the issue as well as present the entire topic to the class.
We will continue into our next novel, A Wrinkle in Time. We will also continue collecting student written poetry in both LA7 and SS7 as we assemble a poetry booklet by the end of March.
