Socials 8

October 6, 2016

-We reviewed the concept of feudalism
-Watched two youtube videos - "Europe's Feudal Estates" (as review and further explanation) and a really cheesy one called "History Teachers - William the Conqueror" (really, just for fun).
-We switched gears for a bit - and looked at the history of surnames - as they originated in the Middle Ages.
-Back on track - we read page 47 together and learned more about a feudal manor.
-Students were then given a new assignment to create their own manor.  Students received a handout that explained the assignment and expectations.  The assignment is due Tuesday Oct 11.
