As requested: your Project-Based Learning Middle Ages results

Finally! Despite 5 of you never doing the Google Form that let me know which Medieval projects you were interested in, I've finished putting together your groups. I did my best to try to get you into groups you ranked as 5s and 4s, but a few of you were assigned to groups that you might not have really preferred. Sorry, but please do take advantage of your fellow group members and work together to make a pretty awesome project! Also, feel free to talk to Beverly and Sean any time you need help with this project. Here are the results:

I was really wanting this project to be completed by this next week, but I think, because of Week of Prayer, we got a bit thrown off, so I'm going to extend this project a few days, until Sunday, November 6th. By that day, I'd like to have your final projects emailed to myself, Sean, and Beverly, and also posted to your blogs. Get started!
