Hey everyone. Just a reminder that your next current event is due on the day we come back from break. Remember to staple the current event to the connection sheet. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO EMAIL ME THE WEBSITE. Also, if you do not have a connection sheet, please email me and I will email it to you.
The notebook quiz we had over the break was a wake up call for many of us that we need to organize our notebooks better. Therefore, I am not grading the quizzes YET. I will give you over the break to get the notes, DO NOWs, and handouts that you have missed. On the day we come back, I will redistribute the quizzes and you can fix your answers. PLEASE REMEMEBER THAT THIS IS THE ONLY TIME I AM DOING THIS. There will be no second chance next notebook quiz!
For the Periods 7-8 classes: Your rough draft for the DBQ is going to be due on next Wednesday. Make sure you follow the directions. Periods 9-10 will have it due as soon as they get the question.
For the 7-8 (A) class: If you did not finish the last slide, just know (and write in your notebook) that the last reason for European expansion was GOLD. As you know, trade increased after the Crusades because there was more of a demand for Eastern goods. Also, the new monarchs and merchants wanted more money, especially since the Italians dominated all the land trade routes since they were geographically the gateway between the East and the West. Therefore, eastern goods were sold to the Italians, who in turn sold the products throughout Europe. Other Europeans did not like this because the Italians charged a lot more that the Europeans wanted. Therefore, Europeans began to look for new trade routes to Asia BY SEA. Shipbuilding became a main priority of these places.
Have a great break everyone!
