TGIF, Again

Wow! It seems like I just typed TGIF yesterday. Hey it's Friday. Today we reviewed the Reading Notes and fielded questions concerning the assessment on Monday. Actually, I don't know about Mrs. Cobb but I did not have very many questions about it. Don't forget to prepare. You can check the January 23 post for the study tips and the January 15 post for the text book pages.Those post dates are for Edmodo, of course.

Also, if you would like to follow your child's notifications by email all you have to do is join your child's parent group and go to account settings. You can check off the box according to what you want to happen. By checking the box for email and entering the same you can get an email every time I post. How great is that? You can check more boxes depending on your level of interest.

Thursday

Today students completed their visit to Renaissance Florence. Tomorrow we will review for the assessment on Monday. You should read the study tips from the last post and come with questions on which you may need clarification.

Wednesday Already!

Back to school after an unexpected break. Today we continued work visiting Florence. Most classes completed 4 stations out of 7 total. We should come close to completing the rest tomorrow.

*Assessment Tip: The chapter 29 assessment is on Monday

Study tips:

*The Reading Notes blank pages are on post January 17th and the chapter 29 text pages on post January 15th.

*The C level will contain the vocabulary terms and questions about the "players" of Florence. Each Reading Notes section has the players and their work.

*B-A+ level will contain questions whose responses may be found in your Reading Notes responses. I would suggest that you back up your Reading Notes with an understanding from the text and when we review the correct responses in class on Friday that you add any incomplete notes to yours. Two questions are review items from last week and are about vocabulary terms.

*Both levels are multiple choice.

Touring Florence during the Renaissance

Hello! Today we reviewed the assessment from the Renaissance from last week. We looked at exemplars and I believe students really understand the grades they earned. Students then continued their trip around Florence around the Renaissance. Student will visit a total of 7 different places. They were completing the connected reading and the reading notes as they worked through it. We will be completing our tour tomorrow! Assessment will be on Monday on Edmodo. We will be completing multiple choice questions for both levels. We will discuss this more tomorrow and post some study hints.

TGIF

Hey, it's Friday. Today we began our tour of Renaissance Florence. Of course, we had to use a bit of imagination but that's OK. There is no home work for the three day weekend and I have already placed the Reading Notes on yesterday's post and the text book pages on the day before. You do not have to do anything with them as they are there on a per need basis. We are looking at an assessment over chapter 29, Florence, on Thursday or Friday of next week. We will be working on the subject matter of chapter 30 next but will probably not be using the text book. We will be doing research over a number of players during the Renaissance period.

The Medici Family and the Renaissance

Hello! Today students continued to view the video about the Medici family students took some notes with a handout as they went. In the end students processed with their partners by determining the most important idea learned about the Renaissance from the video. This video was posted later yesterday on edmodo if students want to review it again.

Good Wednesday

Good Wednesday to you. Today we continued work in the Renaissance by focussing on the city of Florence. We watched the first half of a video clip and will continue the second hafl tomorrow. I have included a link to the video on this post. It is way past my usual limit of about 10 minutes but I am including it anyway for students that missed it due to make up assessments, who missed school, or just want to watch it again. This clip is posted on Edmodo.
