The vocabulary below is related to the work you are doing today and would be worth using in your paragraph. In a few classes you will have write an assessment in which you have to identify three of these that I will choose. Here is an example of an ID:
Alps: The Alps are a mountain range in southern Europe (France, Italy, Austria, and Switzerland). They were significant to European society between 1300 and 1750 because they were one of the physical landforms that made it difficult for Europe to be politically centralized under one government. Europe’s decentralization was a key to its economic development.
Historical Connection: Physical geography is important to the development of civilizations. Just as the Alps influenced the development of Europe, we have studied that the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers had an impact on the development of settlements and life in Mesopotamia.
Reformation
Scientific Revolution
Enlightenment
Martin Luther
John Calvin
Nicolaus Copernicus

Nothing is due. But you should have studied for your vocabulary assessment (explained below) and be prepared to write a paragraph responding to the Question of the Day.
Vocabulary Assessment: Be prepared for an assessment at the beginning of class in which you will have to do an identity for three of the vocabulary terms. An identification is an explanation of why the event, person, idea (etc.) was important in regard to its time, place, and culture.
One-minute speeches: 3-4 of your classmates will give one-minute artifact speeches.
Primary Sources: We will analyze some primary source documents on this time period from our DBQ book.
Paragraph: At the end of class you will write a paragraph responding to this question: How did one of the following affect the lives of people in Europe: the Reformation, the Scientific Revolution, or the Enlightenment? Please try to use ideas from the Flow of History readings and the primary sources in your writing.
