City States of the European Renaissance



Today we reviewed conditions which led to the Renaissance in Italy and then focused on what things in the City States promoted the Renaissance. We discussed the impact of trade and merchant families on the economy and arts. Students had 20 minutes of quiet time listening to Bach while working on the questions related to today's videos and textbook reading.
It was disappointing to see that 10 students of the 24 did not have the homework due today completed. Those students were asked to stay for Connections block and complete their work so that it could be handed in today. I will be available to help them, as I'll be working in the library.
Homework for tonight is to finish the work that was not completed in class today. (4 questions: 1 graphic organizer, 2 sentence answer questions and 1 paragraph on the role of City States in the Renaissance worth 15 marks altogether.)
