Students received their grade on the the Middle Ages - Europe Test. Students completed a Test Analysis Form, reflecting on the questions that they missed. If you were absent (or did not finish the Test Analysis in class today), you will need to go to the Learning Center (TLC). Ask Mrs. Alvarez for your forms. Remove your Test Analysis Form from your Test Copy and Scantron. Complete the Test Analysis Form and bring the Test Analysis Form back to me in class. LEAVE your scantron and test copy in the Learning Center.

Our next unit - Revolutions - was introduced. Students posted their answers to the following questions to a Padlet: how would you define a revolution? What characteristics come to mind when you think of revolution? Answers were discussed, and the class was given the actual definition of revolution.
