March/April Newsletter

What's Going on in the Social Studies???!!!

Dear Parents,

There is a lot going on in social studies in the months of March and April.  We just completed our Renaissance Final Quiz.  It was a culmination of a month spent learning about the origins of the Renaissance, how it spread through Italy and Europe, and some of the great Renaissance artists.  We read Machiavelli and looked at works of art by Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Albrecht Durer.

We are currently working on a Facebook project.  This is basically a biography project with a modern twist.

We are also finishing up College Awareness Week.  Ms. Loustaunau and I are doing career research project in class.  Students will create a poster with information about how students can achieve their long term goals.

We are about to begin work on the Protestant Reformation.  We will learn about Martin Luther.  This unit will have a writing project as well as a few fun assignments.

Thanks for checking into the Blogspot.  Check back for pics showing what is going on in the 8th grade.

Mr. Enwright
8th Grade Team Leader
