CC#40 was returned (an A-V C&E score) and the thesis answer key on the Smart Board to edit and also to discuss as needed. The two key things to keep in mind to unlock progress to the B or to the A level are: 1. Be specific in the thesis...and... 2. Let the title, intro, and conclusion work for you (you don't have to get inventive; simply identify what the author is claiming....you can even quote them). Students collaborated on their notes from the Islamic Enlightenment video. We then wrote the Essential Question for the unit onto our E.Q. page (What was significant about the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the Age of Exploration?) and highlighted it in a color to match the title of the entire E.Q. page ("Modern Europe"). Finally, watch the TICE ART video and add bullet-point detail notes about the Renaissance directly onto the E.Q. page. (You will have ~10 minutes in class on Tuesday to finish this.)
