still DUE:  ROUGH DRAFTS for all nine chapters of MIB (mini illustrated booklet)

           Each chapter worth points.  Roughs will be just that -- rough, sloppy, messy
           Rough drafts give you something to work with, to revise, change, correct
           * for viewing only, teacher will not keep
           * show me rough drafts between now and Tuesday for full points
           * rough drafts are a separate grade in Synergy gradebook (will be on progress reports)
           TEACHER TO VIEW ONLY -- NOT KEEPING ROUGHS (student keeps to work on)

organization/language arts
I.  REVIEW OF TRACKER/PLANNER
- again my expectations:  this is what you should also do at home
- look at your tracker, get out your materials, is anything due, what do you need?
- plan some of tonight's homework, if you can

- review of TRACKER SCORE SHEET that will be part of LA grade
- the planner is a shorthand/categorizing/organization activity
- it's not easy, which is why we practice
* if a teacher does not write up an agenda for you, you are still expected to create one

II.  DARK AGES, Discovery Channel video, chapter 4 (rise of Christianity)
      CHAPTER 4: The Common Thread of Christianity
- review notes; how did the last section end?  THIS IS A TRANSITION
- rewatch end of chapter 3, start of chapter 4 -- take note of how transition is created
- Why is the word thread used?  What image does it create? How do you use thread?
- How does this image fit with history of early Christianity in post-Roman Europe?
- Clovis and the Franks convert to Christianity?  How does this impact Europe?

III.  LIBRARY DAY - MIB Work Day
- work on MIB vocabulary/glossary (roughs due tomorrow)
- or work on MIB chapters or maps
- take paper if you are ready (all kept in class)
- have a plan for the library time - what is your goal?
* USE YOUR TIME WISELY/EFFICIENTLY!!! (please)

HOMEWORK - adjust plan according to YOUR schedule
