History Summary - Pathfinders Level 3 for 9/10/2013


We discussed the Definition of History and why History is important. We talked about the power of ideas.

We viewed a power point presentation “Causes of the Reformation” that introduced the students to Martin Luther and the role he played in the Reformation as well as  John Calvin. We briefly touched on how it led to shaping our nation.
