Students have been presenting their Renaissance Art presentations. Today we spoke briefly about the Scientific Revolution (students took notes on a fill-in page). Period 1 was assigned 6 questions from a reading guide as homework. All other periods did not get the reading guide (they'll get it tomorrow). I passed out a study guide for the unit test which will be this Friday (see below). Packets will also be due on Friday.
