We began the day taking up our homework from last night and then working on the Math Review.

Then we moved on to researching our reason 2 for our speeches focusing on the three examples we chose. 

After first recess and lunch we had French.

Then we reviewed the different perspectives on who discovered America. 

After first recess and lunch, we began learning about the overland route (The Silk Road) Europeans made to Asia for spices and silk. The expansion of the Ottoman Empire made the use of this route expensive. The Crusades made it even more problematic. European trade was centred around important port cities such as Genoa and Venice. Technological advancements allowed travel by sea to be quicker, cheaper, and safer. These advancements included a rudder, latitude & longitude, the caravel, astrolabe, etc. We began making notes and completed a map that shows the routes that were used. We also explored the seven reasons for exploration that we will discuss further as we learn more about European explorers. 















At the end of the day we had physical education.
