Period 4: We discussed reasons for the fall of Rome. Your homework was to read through an article I gave you on the subject and highlight or underline the reasons for the fall of Rome and attach it to your notebook.
We are moving forward from the period of the sacking of Rome through to the Middle Ages, where we will examine a classic, "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." You must have a special sense of humor to appreciate this one, but it is an excellent non-example of history. The costumes are terrible, and the humor is high level--you must understand the history to understand the jokes.
Assignment: Fill in the chart you were given in class. It has columns for you to label the scene, add a quick summary, and fill in the historical errors. This chart will serve instead of your daily summary. You may include analysis of the King Arthur themes from literature as well for our class discussion.
