Standard: Understanding leaders, events and institutions of Europe and
Russia. The remainder of the marking period will continue our studies on
Europe and Russia, particularly focusing on the history of ancient Greece and
Rome through medieval times. A hands on project of a Roman mosaic will be
created in class with a very specific rating system provided. The next
portion of our text will be discussed in class, related to our ongoing Famous

comprehension sheets not completed in class are homework, with a follow up
quiz the next day. A summarizing chapter test may be completed solo with
binder assistance, or with partners and no binder. Essay questions scored as
FCAT writing (10 of 50 points) are provided before the test for student

expected in this class. Annotated biblio info and specific project rubrics

presentation days. THIS IS BONUS FOR ALL STUDENTS BUT REQUIRED FOR AN 'A'
