TODAY IN CLASS
We started watching the film "Becket," which operates both as a culmination of the previous units and a transition to the Renaissance in terms of the church and state/political power struggles are concerned.

There will be super-quick "exit quizzes" each day (points compiled), and a writing assessment over the bigger ideas.  Pay special attention to Becket's own statements about "honor" (there were several in today's installment).

TO START NOW--DUE BY FRIDAY
The last literary/historical introduction that we will do in full is for the Renaissance.  You'll need to read it all outside of class time, respond to questions to make your own study guide, turn that in on Friday, and insure its correctness in class on Monday.  And yes, later on, there will be a quiz.

Page numbers:  292-305.  Start looking it over.  Study guide available tomorrow.
