Feb 6 Class topics

We will listen to the whole lecture on the Franks and Goths and take notes. This is a transition lecture to the beginning of independent European nations, such as France, Italy, and Spain.

I'll post up the answers tomorrow. Even though I post the answers, do your best to take accurate notes.

On Friday, we will skip ahead of our topic lineup and introduce Islam. We will define two key words: "jihad" and "sharia". Then we'll begin to understand the difference between peaceful Muslims and dangerous fanatics. I'll show you a short part of a documentary to illustrate the difference. In Toronto, you will meet a peaceful Muslim named Tarek Fatah who is hated by the leader of Toronto's largest mosque, Ali Hindy, whom you will also meet.

On Monday, a Kahoot from Emma. We will jump back to the Roman Empire and see what the Eastern emperor, Justinian, was like. We'll see how in the 500's he attempted, somewhat successfully, to recapture and restore the western half of the empire.
