Today we assigned your short term in-class assignment comparing various states of the Early Modern Period. Remember, your goal is to create a persuasive poster that convinces someone that your state is the most well run of all of them, thereby making it the best place to live. As we mentioned in class, don't be afraid to put a little spin on some of the less attractive features of your empire. Release your inner salesperson! You'll have tomorrow to finish your poster in class. Friday we'll give you some "gallery time" to look around at other posters before you write a short piece related to the assignment.
Don't forget that we have another CE for tomorrow as well. Enjoy reading it with some tea and crumpets. Don't know what a crumpet is? Me neither... let's learn together here. Hmmmm... that just looks like an English muffin to me. Silly Brits.
Looking ahead - we'll start our study of the French play Tartuffe by Moliere next Friday (9/18). So, if you have your own copy or would like one, you might want to get to work on finding one.
We hope that you are making good use of your newfound time during block lunch. If you have any suggestions for how we might improve block lunch, be sure to let us know.
In honor of today's current event, here's your musical soundtrack for Wednesday:
