Age of Exploration
Today students had an opportunity to complete their Geography Challenge for the Age of Exploration. It was a map and six questions covering the routes of four explorers. If you missed today, please go to the module titled Age of Exploration and choose the fourth sequence TCI reading instructions. The assignment was the first one listed: Setting the Stage Europe Enters the Modern Age. You were to complete the map in TCI lesson 32. When students finished they were to complete the rest of the vocabulary we worked on yesterday. We have to stay on top of things as the days are winding down. Tomorrow, we will continue reading in TCI and move through the reading notes. We have selected a number of questions to complete and will not use all of them. The test for this lesson will be approximately one day after we return and have a chance to work on some review. There is a Study Stack posted on the Age of Exploration module if you wish to work ahead for this lesson.
