Today in Class

Today we reviewed information on the Renaissance Era while answering questions with our ABCD cards.  Students had a number of questions that they answered to gauge their overall comprehension of the material so far.

Students also looked into the aspects of the Northern Renaissance while answering questions in groups.

Have a great day!

Covers on Textbooks

Please make sure that your child's textbook has a book cover on it.  We have brand new books this year and would hate to see them be damaged early on.

Thanks!

Middle Ages Assignment

As you recall, on Friday we introduced the beginnings of the Renaissance Era.  In order to fully understand why the Renaissance took place, it was important that we discussed the time period that led up to this, which was the Dark Ages (or Middle Ages).

Today we are going to look at many different facets of the Middle Ages. There will be several topics that deal with how life was during this time period.

Today's Assignment:
For the first part of this go to this website. You will be looking at different aspects of life during the Middle Ages. Using the different icons on the right side of the website, (such as religion, homes, clothing, etc.) I would like you to write down 3 facts that stood out to you for each topic (7 total). You can use Microsoft Word to complete this assignment.
