At the moment, the students are presenting group-researched myths and questions to the class. This assignment is marked out of 15.
8F French Immersion Social Studies - This past week we have completed two debates "The feodal system is a good idea," and "The societies of the Middle Ages are very similar to the societies of today," in class. The students received their marks today from the debate. We completed our study of the Middle Ages today with an exercise in decoding ancient runes or the anglo-saxon alphabet (marked out of 5). We will begin the Renaissance on Monday.
