This will be an important week in Language Arts as we will begin our research on a famous figure from the Renaissance. It is crucial that you keep up with the required research during the week. Everyone will be working at a different pace, so the schedule is tentative. Remember when researching at home (if necessary), begin with Cobb Virtual Library because it cites the source for you. If you go outside of CVL, you must copy the URL and paste it into www.bibme.org .Below are a few items that may be helpful when researching along with the schedule for the week.
