Mr. Nelligan - Grade 7 & 8 Social Studies “If you think you have it tough, read history books.”
It may be hot in school in September but imagine being in full plate armor trying to defend Jerusalem against attack in 90 degree heat. Your backpack may seem heavy but is it as heavy as carrying a load of stone up a ladder 50 feet off the ground in order to build a cathedral? We study history so we can keep a perspective on our world. How did we get to this point and how do we make sure that we are making the best choices as we move forward from this point? This school year we will be learning about life during what is called the Medieval Period and as we do I’m pretty sure you will develop a new appreciation for life during the 21st century.
