Quote of the Day: "A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all the other virtues." - Cicero
Agenda:
Mr. Duez will be out of school today.
Any student who needs to make up their test from Friday will take it on Tuesday during class, or after school in tutoring.
1. In what different ways did Mongol rule affect the Islamic world, Russia, China, and Europe?
2.How would you define both the immediate and the long-term significance of the Mongols in world history?
3. How would you assess the perspective of this chapter toward the Mongols? Does it strike you as negative and critical of the Mongols, as bending over backward to portray them in a positive light, or as a balanced presentation?(see this link for possible answers: The Mongol Empire & Impact on Eurasia: http://whap.mrduez.com/2011/11/notes-mongol-empire-impact-on-eurasia.html)
Students will write the question and their answer on a separate sheet of paper. They may pick up a text book from the back.
Collect their answers to the 3 questions at the end of the period. If students finish early, begin to read the documents at the end of the chapter. We will be working with them tomorrow and also using the documents on block day and Friday.
Vocabulary quiz is on block day and it is 15 questions. Students may use their notes to answer the questions and I will also allow them to also use their work from this class period on the quiz.

1. Students will work in groups and peer assess/give advice on their answers regarding the document analysis from block day.
