Students,

Today we put recapped the history, culture, and physical traits of the Austral Realm. We drew upon our own prior knowledge as well as our text book to accurately provide information. I would like to take this opportunity to remind all of you that you have a test on March 5th (Wednesday next week).

When we return from our short weekend we will be starting in on Antarctica!

Students,

Today we got to look at Australian, New Zealand, and South Pacific culture in detail. I had a ton of fun covering this power point but I will leave it here for your perusal incase you needed to come back for more.

Now that is out of the way, lets remind you about the Haka...you know that Maori war dance used by the New Zealand all blacks to intimidate their opponents... yeah. I'll just leave this here.

Students,

Today we took a look at the history of the Austral Realm. We created a timeline of important events spanning from 38,000 BCE up until 1945! While it has been a lot of work, I hope that you have been able to organize the history of the Austral Realm and glean some information as to why the area has developed as it has! If you have any questions comments or concerns come prepared to share them tomorrow as we take a more in depth guided look at the history and cultures of the Austral Realm.

Reminder: Unit 13 test is on Wednesday, March 5th!
