King Arthur Book Finish!

Please finish up our book version of King Arthur, p. 339-384 by Friday, Nov. 5, and turn in a one page summary (in "news" style, if you can!). By then, we will also be finished with our King Arthur News. (Don't forget to turn in the required items: news story, editorial, occupation, Merlin's advice, other visuals).

We'll continue with clips of both "King Arthur" and "First Knight", and compare various versions of the great legend.

If you can, for extra credit, blog here for a few sentences about what you think King Arthur legends offered the people, and what similar legends we have in modern times. Do we need another hero?

Shakespeare is Hip-Hop SAT vocabulary is also due by November 18 for test! :)
