We took notes on the first half of Chapter 14.  Students need to finish reading chapter 14 before next class and research the cathedral they were assigned in class.  For homework they need to bring a small picture of their cathedral and a paragraph of information about the cathedral, history, etc.  This does not need to be super indepth.  The goal of this activity is just to reinforce Gothic Arch.
