Friday February 17 p.s. TGIF

Hello Classmates!

After taking about 20min to find out how to create a post, and with the help of Kellie, I found out how!

Today's devotional was by Mrs.Loconte, and was about not being proud, and knowing that everything we do is because God has allowed us too.

In today's class we had our in class essay based on Shakespeare's sonnets. I wish you all the best in the test, and let us hope that we all did well.

We also had two presentations today. Jeff presented a power-point on the crusades. A bit of a recap on that.
-First Crusade was in 1099 and was disorganized but in the end the French won.
-Second Crusade was a Rescue mission, and the Muslims won.
-Third Crusade was the Kings Crusade, and not much was won because in the end they were betrayed.

Janice presented us information about the plagues.
-During the time, people thought the plague could be contacted through contact with lepers and Jews.
-People during this age did not shower often, because their fear of water. The high class changed often, and wore substantial amounts of perfume to appear as if they were clean.
-The Plague killed half of Europe.

Homework:

Cheers,
