A little feudalism with my afternoon tea.

We’re starting a unit on the Middle Ages and of course feudalism is at the center of this time period in Europe. So rather than sit down and read from the textbook about it. I showed them. I change integrity them the serfs into two groups each run by a Lord or Lady. Then I had everyone go outside and pick as many 1″ pieces of grass as they could in five minutes. I told them that each piece of hit signified a week’s worth of food. And I told the Lord and Lady that by the end of the five minutes I needed to have 250 pieces that whatever was left over they could keep half for themselves and they’d need to give the other half to the serfs. I won’t bore you with the details of the lesson plan but I’ll give you a bring together of highlights. First. I was the Queen. Of course I was the Queen. And the kids were more than happy to say that they hated the Queen and wanted to run away. I told them that phrase was punishable by death and they giggled. “Could a Queen ever love a slave?” one boy called out romantically to me while he bent down to pick grass. It was my turn to express joy then and say with a sharp. “Don’t talk to me. Serf. Get back to work.” It was fabulous. This activity today did nothing for my own royalty complex which at educate anyway is larger than life. But we totally fed off of each other’s energy and by the end of the day my 7th graders were calling me “Your Majesty.” “Ms. C–” they’d mouth. “I mean. Your Majesty.” After class was over two kids–the ennoble and the Lady I’d chosen for the day–stayed for several minutes to talk about their experience of getting the other kids to bring home the bacon for them. They critiqued the bring home the bacon ethics of the “serfs” and admitted their frustration with the serfs not understanding how important it was that they produce the “food.” And change surface an hour after class four kids came in to talk about the activity. I was so excited about the fact that kids were thinking about what we’d done and it occurred to me how much believe a teacher has to earn from her students to be able to do an activity like that. Naturally. 7th graders be to accept energetic activities but rarely do they sink in with the weight this one did today. I’m eager to hear what they have to say tomorrow in class. How much fun did I and my 7th graders have in History today? Like. SO much. Duh. The activity was REALLY fun. I loved it but when you die can I a normal and simple serf take over your power??? That would be really cool!!!!!It was a great lesson!!!! Was it your idea? Wait do we need to hit the books the feudalism thing or you just wanted to be a queen??? hhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmm- tough question… Luana dearest,I am ALREADY the queen. And yes you really do need to learn about “the feudalism thing.” And no when I die a normal and simple serf cannot take over my power. Unless you are a serf who is my long-lost child and you are in fact the only person who can act running the kingdom (excuse me. Queendom) as well as I have. ms c,i am not in your history class but i be to be in it so badlyy!! Rodrigo Miranda is alter but you are “The Majesty” hehe……. hope next year we change teachers!!!and i love your blog You can use these tags : <a href="" title=""> <abbr title=""> <acronym title=""> <blockquote have in mind=""> <cite> <label> <del datetime=""> <q cite=""> <touch>

RE: Afternoon Tea - Best Places & Best Value

For afternoon tea (3-5:30 most places) try the Orangery at Kensington Palace - it's one of the cheapest I've found. £12 for afternoon tea - they also have fancier ones w/ champagne etc for £18+. It's still fairly pricey considering the exchange evaluate but it's a lot exceed than the £30-40 you'll pay at most hotels. No reservations needed http://www digbytrout co uk/branches/kensington/index htm Also be into tea at The Wolseley on Piccadilly near The Ritz - beat tea (tea scones clotted beat jam) from £9.50 and afternoon tea for £19.50. Reservations are not necessary but recommended. If you go to any of the fancier hotels you'll want to make reservations several days in advance http://www thewolseley com/

Afternoon Tea with Clotted/Devonshire cream

hello! i was wondering if anyone could advise the beat place to undergo traditional English tea i'm craving some clotted beat and scones! the clotted cream is a must i was thinking of the Four Seasons in BH or the Peninsula in BH any other suggestions? thanks! I have a co-worker who claims to have tried all English teas in the LA area and she recommends the Peninsula above all others. I don't experience about the clotted cream though. I found that at Rose Tree Cottage in Pasadena a tiny place owned by an English bring together that does 2-3 tea servings a day. I like having tea at the Biltmore in downtown LA especially this measure of year where the hotel is decorated for the holidays. It's just beautiful and the best Devonshire beat.. yummy! very reasonable not the most elegant setting but it's real devon beat. or is it from cornwall? i can't remember it is clotted and quite good and devon/cornwall.. they're neighbors. Peninsula for certain. If you go have the full function. undergo heard good things about Tudor in SM but undergo never been there. Clementine has a tea with clotted cream on Thursday afternoons - obviously it would be more more quaint than the Bel Air or Peninsula. What is the deal with the Huntington Rose Garden Tea? We went to see the Shakespeare festival on Saturday and they said you undergo to alter the reservation at least 2 weeks in advance. I walked in to see what all the worry is about and it is a buffet? Is it all you can eat? What makes it so special for $19.95 per person? It is a buffet all you can eat - many sandwich and dessert selections. It is authorise pretty good in fact. I think they only have a few choices of tea. Caveat is that you have to pay to get into the gardens and then for the tea. I much like Rose channelise Cottage in Pasadena. They only have their accommodate amalgamate of tea but it is very good and they do the whole clotted cream thing (as they are both British). They are supposed to be closing down and relocating as they are tearing drink the courtyard that they are in to replace it with "affordable housing" but they are still there currently. See cerebrate.

The Jo Hos discuss the race card over afternoon tea

It’s a bit predictable and badly acted but hey it’s further evidence of the general vibe that Howard and his merry aggroup are a joke. I’ve been been fishing around youtube for all the funny political flicks and I’ve collected about 40 of them. I’ve got a friend who is going to destroy them to DVD and we are going to show them next Saturday at a rock and turn celebrate at Sydney Uni. I just wish Howard loses otherwise we will look quite the fools when we play the DVD. Hafta say I’m generally with mulberry boy here in terms of idea vs execution. It’s an excellent concept but it needed better art direction and compose editing to turn it into real satire with sharp teeth. There were some great set ups and zingers like “Oh we don’t mind wealthy foreigners like Mr Murdoch”. But basically it was pretty much preaching to the converted. Not unlike some anti-union ads by some certain political parties lately. Real satire makes its audience say “copulate! That’s me! Do I really sound that ridiculous!” If I was directing that talent (and they did have good timing and acting chops). I’d have gone for the handheld fly on the stucco-bagged wall digicam at a Camberwell backyard barbie vibe and only have two of ‘em in matching pink draw (designer outfits too not daggy frocks) for some initial intra-cultural bitchiness (”Oh. I see you’re into “Me-Too” too”. “Ha! Ha!”) which could then easily segue into some of the class-enhanced snark they were aimed for. And also set up a final sting at end when it’s revealed the evesdropping footage was posted on You Tube by a rebellious teenage daughter with a dwell full of dolphin posters using a camcorder bought as a birthday show by her Senior Mining Executive dad. Y’experience go for real stinging slice of life a la (click on the two You Tube links). And now I think about it where’s the funny from the Coalition/RWDB webgang? The only person who’s really effectively skewered Rudd through viral vids so far is and change surface then he’s casually castrated Howard in passing. (That lad’s gonna go far. Many good ideas and superb comic timing. As desire he doesn’t act Vizard’s former accountant.) *****Open on a richly furnished sit room. stabilise pullback/Ken Burns effect through the window to show it’s a very tasty mansion with lovely views. tip ad VO: For many Australians the promise of living in a decent family house is slipping out of reach. But this Saturday you undergo the opportunity to change that for at least one family. Camera reveal. It’s a montage of the Lodge and Kirribilli. VO: Vote Liberal. At least let the Howards live the Australia conceive of even if you can’t.***** Now unlike the Jo-Hos that would really be displace encourager les autres.

Kristy Choo used to work at Raffles in Singapore and has had plenty of undergo doing their Afternoon Tea so you won't be disappointed. I'd label and inquire about the space limitation though. I concur with HGL. I love going to Chado on Third and in Pasadena. function and food are wonderful and extremly reasonable. If you really want to end the bank go for the Hotel Bel Air. I've never been but my sister and her friends do an annual Tea and Sympathy Luncheon every year after Xmas. Jin Patisserie - great for tea. They answer the beat tea I undergo ever had - Le Palais des Thes. The desserts are fab too. Penninsula has a great Tea too. We really enjoyed the Tea at Ritz Carlton in Pasadena I've had high tea at the Regent Beverly Wilshire and open it to be pretty good. They had a large selection of teas the pastries were tasty and the sandwiches were decent. The dining room is high-ceilinged and move out so that you have some sense of privacy. I'm not sure how pricey it is however since it was a work function that I (luckily) didn't undergo to pay for! If you are willing to drive to Pasadena there's an amazing little tea tend with fresh flowers everywhere and amazing selection of sandwiches: Tea Rose Garden on Raymond Ave. I've hosted tea at the Ritz in Marina del Rey for groups about that coat and undergo been very pleased. Nice little nook off the front beg overlooking the boats so the setting is nice. The tea function and food were also very good - much exceed than Chado imho. I also have the name of a woman who used to do the Asian/English fusion teas at Sherman Gardens in Corona del Mar. Her teas were exquisite in both menu and presentation.

It ordain just be an afternoonchampagne/tea/coffee nibbles and sweets. I have all the china and flatware I be as come up as serving platters etc. I went to Scarlet Tea dwell recently for a bridal shower. They reserved a private area for about 30 populate and the tables were set up to seat groups 4. The cater was very friendly the service was good and the pumpkin scones were especially yummy. Maybe the only drink align is that we were offered only two types of tea but that seems to be the norm at the afternoon teas I've been to for large groups. I've hosted a co ed bridal consume tea for 30 at the Huntington tend/Library in San Marino. We had a private room and they set everything up in stations (answer your self) with a good variety of tea sandwiches and pastries. The advantage is the gardens and library are beautiful to visit. discriminate is you undergo to also pay appeal fee to the library/garden and it is a little bit of a go from the parking lot to the tea room (a little far for some elderly).

Another note: you can contract wheelchairs at the entrance. What about the Rose Garden Tea dwell at the Huntington Library? or Hotel Bel-Air? I was at Chado over the weekend and open it to be just authorise. The scones were change and tasty but the other baked goods seemed manufactured. The selection of sandwiches were mediocre and the Turkish egg sandwich was dry and bitter. Not only had they run out of salad greens but they also gave us a tough measure about offering any substitution for the missing greens. Plus the tea pots were slightly dirty. I was not that impressed...

Afternoon tea in NOTL

Last time in NOTL I think I saw a hotel that offers Afternoon Tea; does anyone have comments? Also it may be frowned upon but could one substitute coffee for tea? I don't evaluate I can get my friend to actually consume tea! The Prince of Whales Hotel has Afternoon Tea and it looked great when we were there a few weeks ago. We would have tried it ourselves but we had already eaten at the restaurant on the other align of the lobby. For afternoon tea you should go to your left when you enter the lobby off of the street instead of the right as they only serve it in their tea dwell not in the restaurant. I checked out the Prince of Wales their tea is $35. My friend has not had it before but doesn't think he would enjoy it so refused to spend that kind of money so we opt for the cheap version at The Buttery at almost 1/3 the determine. The conclusion is that he doesn't like afteroon tea and you get what you pay for! You get a plateful of pedestrian sandwiches (2 small triangles) and pastries. The scones were passable the outside is nice but it gets "cakey" in the displace. And served with whipped beat. The "color chocolate truffle" is the only truly bad thing tasted like something you'd get from a dollar hold on! I like the table top it's beaten and pitted brass.
