Renaissance
Today students continued work in section 2 of lesson 27. If you missed class today you should try to complete the reading notes from section one and section two. Mrs. Cobb's class is a little ahead of that point and Mr. Hogue's class will start and complete sections 3-5 tomorrow. These sections cover the ideas of Trade, Growth of city-states, and Growth of Humanism. These will be the focus of part two in the assessment on Tuesday. Both classes will wrap up lesson 27 tomorrow and spend Monday completing a review activity in preparation for the assessment on Tuesday. Check yesterday's announcement for more details about the test. You have your pre-test results from Tuesday and should use that to help you figure out which vocabulary terms gave you the most trouble.
