Halloween Spooktacular Make-Up-O-Rama!!

What We Did Today

Boo!

In Class/Google Meet:

We had a spoooky bit of fun watched a “scary” movie while making up any missing work and possibly earning some extra credit.

First priority is on missing assignment and notes. Check Google Classroom and Infinite Campus to see what you are missing. The deadline for the Age of Absolutism unit is fast approaching! Get it done and hit the submit button!

If all of your work is done (YAY!), you might want to dig into the extra credit opportunities that are available.

 Here are some Halloween themed doses of extra credit.

Option 1: 

Choose three Halloween traditions (ex. wearing costumes, etc). For each tradition, check out the article,  History of Halloween to find out how the tradition got started. Summarize where the tradition began and how it changed over time. Write your list and historical connections on the doc provided on Google Classroom.

Option 2:

If you are in class, we are watching one of my faovrite shows for a little historical spookiness.

Sleepy Hollow – Episode 1

• Create a list of 10 historical references made throughout the show. Your list can include references from Ichabod Crane as he talks about his past or they can reference differences between Crane’s time period and our own. Write your list on the doc provided on Google Classroom.
