How to do this assignment.

What you will show me Monday
I want to see the notes you take  (which should be in your spiral notebook), as well as, how you organize your answer. Lastly, I want to see your answer. The first sentence of your answer should be your thesis statement (your argument). Anything similar to "There were many similarities and differences between the Northern and Italian Renaissance" will receive zero credit for homework. Be persuasive!

Think of this question as a math problem. Your answer is important, but I want to see your thinking

*. Put it on Google docs, and invite one of your colleagues to read, critique answer or share notes.
