Monday JANUARY 13

Today, we are watching a really cool video that looks at the Biblical Exodus story from a historical, archaeological, and investigative perspective.  Produced by James Cameron and History Channel, it's a very interesting look at the famous story of Moses and the Israelites leaving Egypt.  It's called Exodus Decoded and we took guided notes on the video.

NO HOMEWORK tonight


tuesday, JANUARY 14

We'll finish watching Exodus Decoded and students will complete their notes.  We'll have homework tonight that uses their notes and understanding of the story of Exodus which is central to the religion of Judaism.

HOMEWORK:  answer the question on Edmodo in 4 sentences or more
