The Anabaptist Movement

Before you read Lesson 24, create a neatly drawn and written "family tree" of the Protestant Reformers and their followers.  Title the page "Protestant Reformers and Their Followers."  Because most would say the Protestant Reformation started in Germany, you will file this under "Europe: Germany." 

Complete your history card for lesson 23, and then read lesson 24 also doing its history card.

Add to the family tree of reformers after reading lesson 24.

There are Hutterite communities living in the United States today.  Enjoy this Hutterite choir singing Be Thou My Vision.   Also, read the question on this Hutterite blog.  The answer to it is just under the picture of the handwritten hymnal in the photo.  Then scroll down to the bottom of the blog page.  Listen to the You Tube performance of a German country folk band and listen to a bit of the song until you recognize its sound well enough.  Then click on the blue words just under the video, "same song," to hear that song sung by some Hutterite ladies.  It is a recording only without video.  How do they compare?  I hope you have enjoyed learning about the Hutterites!

Quiz; Your Satire

You may review further from the last post before taking your quiz, but make sure you complete the quiz with no helps of any kind and bring to class on Friday.

Write a 1 page satire using the topic of your choice.  Remember that a satire is a literary work which shows a human vice or folly to be scorned.  The example from class was "Ten Good Reasons To Eat Junk Food."  Of course that example would proceed to explain or depict why one should NOT eat junk food, so a satire usually expresses the opposite of what is being said.

Complete any history cards unfinished thus far, through Lesson 15.
