"The Perfect School"
We learned of how Sir Thomas More wrote Utopia to stimulate thought about the perfect government while at the same time having a little fun! You are to mimic that by writing about The Perfect School.
What would that look like to you? What would you name it? Where would it meet? You may be as ridiculous and creative as you want, but you must meet this one requirement: learning must take place. (So, think about what motivates you to learn. Your school may not look like anyone else's, but to you it would still be "perfect.") Place a colorfully illustrated title page over your paper which will be filed under Europe: England in your notebooks.

Akbar "the Great"
Complete lesson 25 and make your summary card. If you missed making the card for the last lesson, you may want to start there.
Start here with this picture and scroll through the buildings that belong to the sandstone palace, the Fatehpur Sikri.
Take a virtual tour around the Taj Mahal , if your computer is equipped to play this; mine is not but maybe yours is.
Why do you think that Akbar's mixed approach to religion did not catch on in India? Why do some peoples resist the blending of faiths and others endorse it? Do you see this played out today? What do the Ten Commandments teach about other gods? What does the New Testament teach in John 14:6. (Write down your thoughts to be ready to discuss in class.)
