We just completed a short unit on Byzantine and Islamic Civilizations and wrote a test on them last week.  We are now entering the longest unit of the year -- The Middle Ages in Europe.  This will involve studying all of chapters 3, 4 and 5 before we write out next test.  This is a number of weeks away  I will notify you of the next test with at least a week to go, but I cannot exactly predict when this will be just yet.

We will watch two episodes of Terry Jones' Medieval Lives in class. If you want to see about the lives of other medieval people, here are links to other episodes: The Monk, The Damsel, The Minstrel, The Philosopher, The Outlaw, The King. A terrific documentary about medieval life is Michael Woods' Christina; A Medieval Life. Be sure to watch this if you get the chance. It gives real insight into 14th Century peasant life. Mr. Benoy is particularly fond of this film as it describes medieval live in the English County in which he was born. We may or may not get a chance to work this into a class.

Interested in Medieval weapons? Watch Weapons that Made Britain; The Long Sword, Weapons that Made Britain; the Lance and The Weapons that Made Britain; The Longbow, Weapons that Made Britain; the Shield. Watch Battlefield Britain; Hastings about the Norman conquest of Britain.

Interested in medieval lifestyles? Try Clarissa and the King's Cookbook to see how medieval royals ate. Try also Inside the Medieval World; Knowledge - what medieval people knew. Investigate life in England's greatest medieval city -- London -- in Filthy Cities; Medieval London- not a pretty place, but like the expanding great cities of the developing world today, a place of horror and opportunity.

We are testing the Rome unit this week -- on Friday, March 14  -- that is the last day of classes before Spring Break.  I know this is not ideal and it means that students will have to complete the test in class time, with at most 5 extra minutes during the break.  I will adjust the length of the test from previous years to cut it down a little in size.  The alternative is to write after Spring Break when you've had two weeks to forget everything; hence my decision. Your test on Rome will include the following: 40 multiple choice questions (1 mark each), 3 out of 5 definition items (2 marks each) and 2 long answer questions (6 marks each). The total is, therefore, out of 58 marks. You can earn up to 5 bonus marks for submitting at least 25 correctly made flash cards (term or name only on the front and definition or why the person is important on the back) at the time of the exam. You may not hand these in late to earn marks; they must be submitted when you write the test.

Expect your next unit test to be Thursday, March 13.  We will begin the next unit before then, but leaving the test will allow for us to run into Tuesday's class if we need to and still allow anyone who wants to take extra time on the test to do so.  Expect the mark breakdown to be as follows:   35 multiple choice questions (1 mark each), 2 from 4 long answer questions (6 marks each), and one essay question on what should be done with the Canadian Senate (12 marks - 2 x 6). The total is, therefore, most likely to be out of 59 marks.  A minimum of 25 properly done flash cards will earn 5 bonus marks, which will be added to the test score.
