That Tower/Beefeaters/and reading!

Enjoy these photographs of the Tower of London.  Do you remember from our lesson today who spent some time there during the Wars of the Roses?

Do you remember who likely died there?

See if you can re-tell the story of the Wars of the Roses to your parents or a friend.

The activity for this week is for you to fold a piece of notebook paper in half vertically and research the two Beefeater uniforms pictured below.  Write a brief paragraph on alternate sides of the page telling about when each uniform style is used.  You may want to print a picture of each style to paste onto the paper at the top of each side of the page.  You will file this in a section of your ring-binder that is labeled Europe:England.
HERE is a link where you may research the information for your work.

                                   

Complete reading chapter 2 and chapter 3.  Set aside time to be able to enjoy what you are reading; we tend to remember it better when we are able to relax and think about what we are reading, enjoying it that way as we do it!  


Well, that is all for now; see on Friday!

(PS ~ I forgot to mention that doing these assignments DOES get counted as a portion of your overall grade in this class.  Your participation in the assignments at home prepares you to contribute to the discussion and work we do inside the classroom.  It is important also for your learning.  Please do not disappoint me or the class by being negligent of your work; I also do NOT want to ever have to call your parents about your negligence.)
