Humanities: Week of March 2

Hi Folks!

We've now wrapped up our City-State proposals, as well as, a main portion of our Renaissance inquiry. Thank you to those who presented on Thursday, it was SO engaging!! *(See pics below!)

Congrats to 8-1s Medici and 8-2s Pazzi famiglias!

Today, we started our switch up and shuffled into different groupings: welcome to 2 weeks of FIRE & ICE!!

In regards to upcoming tasks, we've got 2 major assignments on the go. Both are due Weds, March 18:

- Final Lit Circle Prompt (Essay #2)
- Influential Figure

*Along the way, we will have check-ins and mini-deadlines as well.

Please use your class time effectively. Some of us have struggled the last while and as such, tasks have come in late, and/or incomplete. You are always given enough time... so please do you work. It's part of learning and organizing yourselves. "Real world preparation" means adhering to real deadlines...

For the next 2 weeks, you will most likely have to work on tasks at home, since there are other things we need to cover in class.

Reminder for anything that might be outstanding:

Lit Prompts (Feb 3, 10, and 18) were due TODAY!
Inquiry Questions: Thinkers & Society/Arts was due FRIDAY, FEB 28
