History of Medieval England - Thursday 6th Period: Discussion 1: Introduction and Pre-history to 500

Good afternoon, class. Now I get to torture you all by making you all stand up and introduce yourselves to your classmates. This is because I'm sadistic want to get you used to the concept of talking during our discussion sessions. Please give your name and what one thing you'd like to find out in this class.

Your homework, due next Tuesday but to be posted in this post is to pick a topic from the once-optional-now-mandatory reading list I gave you on Prehistoric Britain and Roman Britain and give me ETA a minimum of one hundred Wikipedia words on it. Got it? Good.

[[OOC comment threads are done!]]

[[ETA: OOC: At some point I stopped receiving comment notifications for this post. I'm scanning and trying to jump into discussions. But since I'm trying to foster discussion *amongst* all of you, I try not to jump in everywhere.]]

Parker coughed. "*cough*Hoover Dam*cough*. *cough*Washington Monument*cough*." Then she grinned. "Although, I need to find out more about what Queens *did* build while they reigned, to make sure that's on target. Still. You never hear about Eleanor of Aquitaine's Wall, or Queen Isabella's Monument."

"Maybe they were building tunnels or...mounds instead?" Cordy cringes as she speaks, and decides that now would be a good time to shut up.

"Many of the monuments built by men are famous for either being collosal failures or bankrupting their governments." Methos grins. "I imagine that the more practical rulers didn't waste money on status symbols."

Parker raised both eyebrows at Cam, then chortled. Evilly. "Okayyyy...."

"What?" Cameron wondered why Parker was chortling at him.

Hatshepsut had a pyramid, I think, but it's not one of the big impressive ones.

"And Cleopatra had an obelisk. But that's not like having a monument." Parker cocked her head. "Hmm. Possible area for extra-credit paper at some point...."

"That sounds more like a topic for 101. Y'know. Further opportunities for torture! Next semester."
