Hello everyone,

I hope you all enjoy your weekend. It's already starting to snow outside! Make sure you stay warm and watch out for cars. Be safe and have fun. =D

Here is the homework I assigned:

1) Use the magnet strategy for the "Preparing for War" section on p. 39-40. I will collect this as a formative assessment. You may write it all on paper OR you may write them on sticky tabs and stick them onto the paper.
2) Read" The Tactics and Technology of a Battle" and "Medieval Propaganda" sections (p. 40-41). You do not have to use the magnet strategy for these. Furthermore, you do not have to read the "Making the Tapestry" section.

By reading these sections, you will see how William defeated Harold and discover why the tapestry was put together.

See you all on Monday,

Mr. Wong
