I was out sick yesterday and the students had a guest teacher in my place. They worked on the Byzantine Review which introduced them to the Byzantine Empire (sometimes called the Eastern Roman Empire). The review included reading and questions. They had enough time to finish in class. 

Today (4/15) in Class...

• We did Quote Wednesday for Daily Geo
• We finished the Rome: Engineering An Empire Video & Video Guide
• We practiced our Africa Maps for the text next week

Homework...

• None
