Pirate Flag

Today's assignment (Thursday 9/10) is to design your own pirate flag. Pirates used symbols to communicate who they were and to strike fear into the hearts of their opponents. Students should make up symbols of their own and design their own pirate's flag. They should make a key to explain what their symbols mean.

Week’s Plan 9/8- 9/11

Small Switch

I am switching Thursday's and Friday's plans with each other. A computer lab became available Thursday so I am taking the opportunity to go to the lab. The original lesson planned for Friday will be even better when done in the lab Thursday.

We had a great time in the lab on Tuesday. Students did an online simulation of the Jamestown colony. Many of the students were able to receive 2 "excellents" in their score. Curious what we were doing? Check out http://historyglobe.com/jamestown/ and see how well you can do.

Thank you,
