Thursday, February 28th

The last day of February! Woohoo! Today we:

  • Got organized - looked at the Binder Page, talked about what was needed and where. Mr. M also reminded students about the current Extra Credit assignment.
  • History Editing - students worked with partners to read over their essays about How The Great Age of Exploration Began.  Using a checklist of information which should have been included students had the  opportunity to see how concise their essays were or were not. 
  • Evidence of Trade between Europeans and Muslims after the end of the Crusades. Using a painting by Jan Van Eck, students examined the painting and identified items which were not from Europe. Mr. M explained that this was a "stuff" painting. We will continue this tomorrow.
