This post is about what we’re doing in class. Since we’re doing the Islam unit, the best way to study it is to be it. So I’m going to give a couple opinions and questions about the unit, remember, unit.

This coming unit we are going to act like muslims. We’re going to live like the nomads, trading, working, answering questions, making money, and even bringing in food they would have eaten.

I think this project is really neat  and is a great way to experiance the life of a nomadic muslim. It’s great fun and is a great way to interact with others. We even get a muslim name! I can’t wait to learn more, the muslim empire was bigger than the Roman you know. Living like a muslim in class will be very unique.

I have a couple questions to ask about the Islam unit. One, how did the muslims take over such a large amount of land? Two, what is their culture like? And three, how did they manage their empire? I hope to learn these in the near future.
