Charlie and I reviewed what we covered last week prior to his illness - our research and study of Alaska and some new vocabulary. We followed an online lesson exploring ancient civilizations and various projects that Charlie can complete to further his understanding - Greek painted pottery, Chinese dragons, plays - "The Illiad" and "The Odyssey", and simulated travel along the silk road. Afterwards, I introduced our new Greek mythology unit and we discussed words we use today that allude to mythological characters. We looked to illustrated flashcards that Charlie will use for an interactive notebook. We learned about characters that we will study next week when we begin reading the actual myths. This is a good way to incorporate language arts and graphic arts into his social studies lessons. He completed HOMEWORK and showed me via Skype the completed assignment, which he will bring in on Monday.
