Editing Your Renaissance Little Projects: February 8, 2017

Focus: What edits should we make to fortify the tone and themes of our Renaissance Little Projects?

1. Warming up by augmenting your tone vocabulary:

Step 1: Join the class to access the first set of words (Lists 1 and 2).

• 4th Hour: Click HERE to join my Quizlet class.

• 6th Hour: Click HERE to join my Quizlet class.

Step 2: Learn the words.
Flip through flashcards/play Match or Gravity to continue learning the words.

Step 3: Compete!
You will need your phones for Quizlet Live. You will also need a code, which I will project on the overhead. I'm hoping the rest is self-explanatory and/or you can explain it to me since you're the Quizlet Live experts.

3. Checking in with a quick exit ticket
