Also, if you have not turned in or e-mailed to me your list of whom you consider to be the six most significant people of the last 1,000 years, do so by Friday at midnight. Next Monday, you will be given one name from your list - you will soon begin your in-depth research of that person...more on that next Monday... I am planning on taking a trip to the Walter's Art Gallery on the Friday after Thanksgiving - they have an extensive Egyptian collection... anyone going will earn extra credit points for doing so...We will meet at Bishop Cummins at 9 am and head on down to the museum, returning about 2 pm...More info to come...
