We took notes over the Catholic Church’s response to the Protestant Reformation.

On block day you will need to bring your Renaissance/Reformation packet to turn in, a #2 pencil, and your textbook.

We reviewed samples of vocab quizzes.  We spent much of the period reviewing the early American Revolution.  I also previewed my first VoiceThread (see 9/25).  Let me know what applications for class you see with this tool.
Deadline for make-up work and vocab quiz retakes for 1st quarter is Friday, October 2 at 3:30 p.m.!

We finished watching the last scene on 1776.  Students then worked on Discourse for unit 1 (chapters 7-10).

Check out my new VoiceThread covering important chapter 7 and 8 vocab.  Doesn’t this look like a fun idea for vocab quizzes?

We read Luther’s description of faith and discussed what he meant by that term.  For the last part of the period, students began watching Luther.

Tomorrow is International Talk Like a Pirate Day!

My pirate name is:
Dread Pirate Flint

Like the famous Dread Pirate Roberts, you have a keen head for how to make a profit. Like the rock flint, you’re hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you’re easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!

Students turned in the Renaissance important person foldable we worked on in class Tuesday, and the Renaissance vocabulary sheet they got in class Friday.  After working through an activity that required students to evaluate a number of rights for Constitution Day, students worked to complete the Renaissance turtles activity in the Renaissance packet using a film we watched in class and a handout of short bios of the 5 people.
