The Renaissance Begins
Hello! Today we completed and discussed the geography challenge for the Renaissance. Students then viewed a short video clip outlining the BIG IDEAS for the Renaissance. We then started on the previewing of the chapter. Students will be using a copy of the text in the classroom. They may use the copies posted on Edmodo for support at home, but please follow the directions on the post for how to use. Mr. Hogue's class also got started reading the text together and completing the reading notes, viewing photos connected to the readings. We are thinking now about an assessment possibly on Friday or Monday.
