Humanities Week of Feb 18

Hi Folks!

Good job to most of you for staying on track with your reading goals over that extra-long weekend! Keep working through the weekly Lit Circle prompts -- as I will be looking through ALL of them very soon... 😃

Here are a few jot notes:

- Yesterday, we finished up our profile of Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation. I think most of us have a very solid understanding of Luther's contributions. Well done!

- We will now begin a study on the works of Leonardo da Vinci, and, delve into some individual inquiries relating to a few more of the influential figures during the Renaissance.

- As mentioned in class on Tuesday, we'd like to have all novels completed by Friday, February 28, so that we can get started on our essay writing tasks.

- Both classes will plan to hold their Signoria Meetings on Thursday, February 27.

That's all for now. Come see me if you have any concerns.

Later,
Mrs. Lockyer

Hi friends, As you know, Edict responses were due today ! You were meant to have submitted hard copy versions (handwritten/typed) into your corresponding class' drop box (up near SmartBoard). Today was the second opportunity you had to work on your written rationales for the Exhibit artifacts. Remember, EACH STUDENT is required to submit an informative piece of text along with the build, your blueprints, and any other planning documents you may have. I have provided you with some very specific prompts -- please refer your class' Share Folder for this task. You should also be working on your Hockey Hero task, as I will be looking for this to be completed by Weds, Nov 13. Please come chat to me if you have any questions, comments, or concerns :) Happy weekend folks. -Mrs. Lockyer
