Beginning Unit 1: Columbus - Friend or Foe?

All 6th graders survived their first 85 minute history class!  We talked about how to read a textbook which is a new task for the 6th grade.  Everyone should have an Active Reading Bookmark in their textbook.
Assignments 2 and 3 were completed, minus a few definitions we need to finish on Thursday.  The quiz on Monday will include the 13 items placed on the map and the 14 definitions.
I posted all of Unit 1 at the top of the blog.  If you misplace any pages from your unit, you may print them directly from the blog.

HOMEWORK due Thursday: 
Complete Assignment #5. There is a choice of two articles on the Black Death.  You are only required to read one of the two.  If you choose the first articles there are two questions that you should answer.  If you choose the second article, you will write a ONE paragraph journal entry as if you lived in an Italian town during the plague.
