Byzantine Icons
Today we took our first quiz, and it is my hope that a majority of these quizzes will be corrected by tomorrow. Each quiz throughout the year is out of 100 points, and all together, quizzes are worth 20% of your grade.
When you take quizzes, be sure you quickly look through the entire quiz before beginning. As I mentioned to you today, you might have seen that it would have been beneficial to complete the list of dynasties FIRST, which would have helped you with some of the other questions. Don't be afraid to go out of order, and do the parts you know first, to build your confidence and get a few questions out of the way. Also, I saw people who quickly wrote down acronyms to help them remember the order of the dynasties (another good idea). As a reminder, quizzes count for 20% of your grade each term, so this is your biggest grade so far in term one.
Tomorrow, we will be discussing both the reign of Justinian and Byzantine Iconoclasm (picture) and their effect on Byzantine history.
Don't forget to get your CCAs signed, and be sure to read this one carefully.....
