Hey everybody, it's Friday. Today we introduced chapter 5 in our text book. The next few days before break will be spent looking at three events that brought an end or contributed to the end of feudalism. We viewed, except period 6 due to technical difficulties, a short video clip that was hilarious and had good information, as well, on King John and the Magna Carta. We will look at the Bubonic Plague, and the Hundred Years War, as well. We also participated in a short experiential activity that made an attempt at simulating the gripes that nobles and bishops had against King John in the events that led up to the signing of the Magna Carta. I have included the video we watched today as well as snapshots of our reading material in chapter 5 and a brief article on the Magna Carta. You do not have to view the video if you already did in class and the text book photos are for your pleasure as we work through the chapter. The article is a must read and please respond to the following question on a piece of paper for Monday. Please do not reply your answer as it will spoil the fun for others. You may respond but just not the answer. The attachments to this post are only available on Edmodo.
Question: There are two principles expressed in Magna Carta that resonate to this day. What are they? Read the Featured Document article to respond to this question.
Quiz Alert: We will have a quiz over the material on these three topics on Thursday. We will be in computer labs that day and will take it on Edmodo.
