Lesson+Plan+for+Monday,+November+23,+2009

Good morning 7th graders. I hope you enjoyed your fall break. Here is the plan for class today and your homework.

1. Discussion question - Islam spread beyond the Arabian Peninsula through __warfare and trade__. Which was more important to the spread of Islam? Explain your answer.

What to do: a. go to **__your own page__** located on the home page in the chart (just click on your name) b. subject - Warfare and trade c. message - post your answer

2.Next, complete Assignment 7 - Islamic Cultural Achievements in class. This should take about half the class if you stay focused. Remember, this needs to be completed in your notebook or binder. 3. Next, start on Assignment 8 - Muslim Contributions. You should complete up to "House of Wisdom" which is the eighth on the graphic organizer. If you don't finish, then complete for homework. If you finish this in class then continue with the rest of the contributions. Your teacher will give you the handouts, BUT you will not work on the map today. We will do that Tuesday in class.

See you tomorrow, Mr. Hernandez
