Be sure to include at least six specific detailed explanations of how the society works.  Be sure to include all dress-ups (ly adverb, who-which clause, www.asia.b adverbial clause, quality adjective, strong verb), all openers (subject, preposition, www.asia.b, ly adverb, -ing participle, very short sentence), and one decoration (conversation, alliteration, simile, metaphor or 3 short staccato sentences)in each paragraph in your essay.

Presentation: Research and prepare a notecard keyword outline for your presentation this week. Don’t write it out word for word, and do bring a note card of your key word outline - you’ll forget what you learned!  Here are some of the topics you picked in class:

History - The Protestant Reformation placed Europe in turmoil.
Literature - Thomas More wrote Utopia. Sit down with an adult to read pages 149 to 257 (marked 83-190).
Art - Leonardo da Vinci, the artist.
Science - Leonardo da Vinci, the scientist.
Geography - A map of the world, check out the islands in the Pacific Ocean.
Philosophy - Martin Luther on personal conviction.
Sir Thomas More died for his beliefs.
Math - Here is a discussion of his life: Like many mathematicians from Kerala, Madhava clearly had a very strong influence on Paramesvara. One can see throughout his work that it is teachings by Madhava which direct much of Paramesvara's mathematical ideas. One of Paramesvara's most remarkable mathematical discoveries, no doubt influenced by Madhava, was a version of the mean value theorem. He states the theorem in his commentary Lilavati Bhasya on Bhaskara II's Lilavati. There are other examples of versions of the mean value theorem in Paramesvara's work which we now consider.

Wednesday classes

Make Science: In class we’ll learn more about Leonardo da Vinci and make anemometers.

Math Club: Learn about Paramesvara and the Mean Value Theorem.

Art Appreciation: Learn about da Vinci as an artist. Paint portraits using the Golden Ratio.

Writing Club Homework: DUE ON  APRIL 25, 2018

Upper Dialecticians (7-9) and Lower Dialecticians (5-6)

IEW Medieval History-Based Writing Lessons:
Unit 8:  Lesson 26 “Genghis Khan". Read “The Assignment” on page 179.  This is the first part of a two part lesson. DO NOT DO THE CONCLUSION YET.  Writing a conclusion for a Formal Critique will be the lesson next week. Use the “Source Text” on page 178. USE THIS TEXT AS A BLUEPRINT or ROAD MAP of what a Formal Critique should look like. Read page 243-244  for a sample of a Formal Critique. Remember to use page 181 to make a Key Word Outline. Add all of the elements of STRUCTURE and STYLE you have learned so far. We will go over the checklist in class next week. Try to add vocabulary for extra points!

Fix it! Grammar:
Complete Week 26 in your book and copy the corrected paragraph into your notebook.  Review the Grammar Cards in the back of your notebook. They really help! Suggestion: use two different colored pencils to correct the punctuation and parts of speech.  Review in preparation for next week!
