Thursday
Today we introduced chapter 35, The Enlightenment. We will take a look at this period of history, its players, and how what they said and their thoughts shaped American history (government). We also began work on a new Cobb Web for vocabulary and viewed a CNN Student News report. The Focus Sheet was posted on March 12th. We will work toward completing The Enlightenment section near the middle of next week and have an assessment on Thursday. The assessment we took yesterday will be the fianl grade for this grading period and The Enlightenment assessment will be the first one for the final quarter of the year. Let's get off to a great start!
