Hello Minischool 8,

As we are exploring the Fall of Empires, we will first explore the fall of Rome as an example. To better understand these concepts we will analyze the following primary sources to deepen our understanding. Please review the 12 primary sources attached and summarize them in the best way you know how and then add your personal reflection/opinion for each. You may type your answer right underneath the document but please do this individually. Thanks and best of luck!

Best of luck,

Mr. Murray 

As we move into the dark ages (of Feudalism) we will be looking into the Macabre and the environments of horror writing at this time and in a modern context. This quote was as playful as I could find for the subject but I think puts it nicely. We will start to explore the makings of the Black Death in relation to Science, Math, English and Social Studies. Scare ya later,

Mr. Murray 

Hello Beta Mini School grade 8’s,

As promised here are some quotes of the week that will be used as a prompt for an activity next week. As we are starting with the Rise and fall of Civilizations I thought I would add something eluding to our topics. Enjoy and have a good field trip tomorrow!

We experience so many negative things in our society and I believe do not get a chance to revel in our individuality and personal achievements. This is why I will be adding positive quotes of the week for all of you to enjoy. We may be doing something with the quote during the week so please take the time to read them. This one is playful and I think encapsulates what the BETA-Minischool is all about. Have a fantastic weekend all!

Stay Gold,

Mr. Murray
