Monday: Unit Test on Feudal Europe. Packets collected.

Wednesday: Students did a map of Renaissance Era Europe and watched a portion of the History Channel's Engineering an Empire series about Renaissance Era Europe.
Thursday: We watched some more of the Engineering an Empire series and students had time to begin a web-quest about the city of Florence if they had completed all other work.
Friday: Students read about the city of Florence and answered questions. No homework for the weekend, but assingments in the packet should all be completed by the time I collect it (next Friday?). There will be no more class time to complete assignments we did this week. Here is a list:
