Preview of Week Beginning 01/16
Important Announcement: Due to an error on my part, the grades in Infinite Campus during the first trimester were not being calculated properly during the First Trimester. This problem is currently being rectified. If this problem impacted your grade, you and your parents/guardians will be contacted by me personally before the end of this week. Trimester 2 grades are now rectified, and if you check IC, what is currently posted is correct.

Students will read and analyze a profile of Martin Luther and also a primary source. I will also provide direct instruction on John Calvin, and students will have the opportunity to investigate his beliefs via a primary source and a profile. If time permits, we will engage in a learning extension map activity.
