Magna Carta
Today students began work with Magna Carta (TCI Lesson 5.1 and 5.2) by experiencing a simulation of making up a Magna Carta - like document and making King John sign it. They experienced him taking taxes, putting them in jail, and generally being a poor leader and thus making them write up the document. Tomorrow we will look into the Bubonic Plague.
