More Turks

Emily liked the Ottoman Turks so much, she kept drawing. I can't wait to see what she makes of the Knights of the Round Table....

Invasion of the Turks

So this week we studied the Crusades, and then talked about how the Ottoman Turks invaded Constantinople and put an end to the Byzantine Empire. Emily, 12, seemed quite taken with the lesson, and as she tends to express herself best through art, I encouraged her to draw a picture of something we had talked about. Here it is. Sigh.
