Where we are: Drive walked (1,664 files). Test OCR'd (10 vocab terms, real). Glossary OCR'd (18,965 chars, definitions + page numbers). Chapter PDF OCR'd (50 pages, 104,333 chars). Three .gdoc files still blocked behind your school's OAuth policy — 30-second manual download fix at the bottom.

1. Why Ch 17 Renaissance

Out of 1,664 files in H:\Shared drives\Social Studies\ and H:\My Drive\6th Stuff\, Ch 17 has the best coverage:

Resource	Status	What we got
Chapter PDF — `Chp 17 - The Renaissance and Reformation.pdf` (30.9 MB, 50 pages)	OCR'd ✓	104K chars, page numbers, every term in context
Glossary PDF (3.6 MB, 6 pages)	OCR'd ✓	18.9K chars; real definitions for Renaissance, humanism, diplomacy, Reformation, secular, heresy, seminary, etc.
Chapter Test (5-page PDF scan)	OCR'd ✓	13 vocab terms with test definitions extracted
14 Ch 17 Worksheet PDFs	Available, not yet OCR'd	Will OCR after format approval
Mark's lesson plans, study guide, notes — `CH 17 LP Day 1.gdoc`, `Ch 17 Study Guide.gdoc`, `Chp 17 Notes - TE.gdoc`	Behind OAuth	File IDs captured — needs 30-sec manual download (see §6)
Tier-specific tests (support / traditional / honors separate)	Don't exist	Searched all 1,664 files. No chapter has separate tier tests. The single test is the shared anchor for all three tiers.

2. The 13 vocab terms on the Ch 17 test

From the test OCR — these ARE the curated list (geared to the test, per your spec):

Items #1-10 are the matching section. The +3 are from the multiple-choice section, also testable vocab. Total 13 cards per student. Want them all, or just the 10 matching ones?

3. Prototype — Renaissance (real content, real sources)

One term, three tiers, every word real. Definitions taken verbatim from the test, glossary, and chapter PDF (page numbers cited).

Support tier

Source: the test

A time of rebirth of interest in art and learning.

From Ch 17 test, Part 1 question 2

Traditional tier

Source: book glossary

("rebirth") period of renewed interest in art and learning in Europe.

Glossary p. 609

Honors tier

Source: chapter body

A period beginning in northern Italy that built on the wealth of trading city-states, looked to the ideals of ancient Greeks and Romans, and produced new art and ideas that spread north from Italy.

Chapter 17 §1, p. 609 (textbook OCR confirms)

Chapter OCR p. 5: "you will see how Europeans began to look to the ideals of the ancient Greeks and Romans as they left the Middle Ages behind."

Chapter OCR p. 5: "Italy's location helped its city-states grow wealthy from trade and banking, but many of the cities fell under the control of strong rulers."

Glossary OCR (p. 609): "Renaissance ('rebirth') period of renewed interest in art and learning in Europe (p. 609)"

Physical notecard — front (word) / back (definition bold)

As you described: word on front, definition bold on back. Same word, three back-side variants per tier. Honors example below:

Front

Renaissance

REH-nuh-SAHNS

Back · Honors

A period beginning in northern Italy that built on the wealth of trading city-states, looked to the ideals of ancient Greeks and Romans, and produced new art and ideas that spread north.

Glossary p. 609 · Ch 17 §1

4. Classroom 16:9 slide — definition big, bold, centered

Per your spec: 16:9 TV, definition is the visual anchor, key word highlighted.

Ch 17 · Renaissance

Renaissance

A time of rebirth of interest in art and learning.

Glossary p. 609

Each tier gets its own slide variant — support shows the test definition (above), traditional the glossary definition, honors the chapter contextual definition. One word per slide; cycle through 10-13 slides for a full vocab review.

5. What I have direct access to (after OCR + Drive walk)

Test definitions: 13 of 13 terms ✓
Glossary definitions with page numbers: 5 of 13 terms (concept words: Renaissance, humanism, diplomacy, Reformation, secular). The 8 person/place/thing terms — Medici, Shakespeare, Gutenberg, da Vinci, Marco Polo, florin, Henry VIII, etc. — aren't in the glossary by design (proper nouns).
Chapter contextual definitions with page numbers: 12 of 13 terms confirmed in OCR. Thirty Years' War is the one term I couldn't yet locate in Ch 17 — likely covered in §4 (Reformation Begins) — will re-pass on second OCR if needed.
Drive file IDs: Extracted every .gdoc/.gslides file ID from Drive for Desktop's metadata DB. Means if/when OAuth or manual download path opens, I jump to content fast.

6. Three .gdoc files I can't read — 30-second manual unblock

School Workspace denied the OAuth flow (admin policy). These are the only three docs that materially change the build. Open each, then File → Download → format shown:

What it gives me	URL	Download as
Julie's Notecard Template — so the output matches the school's format exactly, not my approximation	open	.docx
6th final Key Terms highlighted — your curated highlights, in case the test list isn't enough	open	.docx
Parent Orientation Night Gr 6 deck — the "what we're supposed to do" anchor you called out	open	.pdf

Drop them in C:\Users\Breez\Downloads\. I'll detect, parse, and integrate. Optional: skip these for now and I build from PDFs only — the prototype above is real either way.

7. Decision points before I generate

Chapter: Ch 17 Renaissance — go, or pick different?
Vocab count per chapter: the 10 matching-section terms, the 10 + 3 multiple-choice extras (13 total), or just the matching 10?
For person/proper-noun terms with no glossary entry (Medici, Shakespeare, etc.) — traditional tier falls back to chapter short definition. OK, or different rule?
Slide title: show just the word (current mockup), or word + section (e.g., "Ch 17 §1: Renaissance")?
Notecard format: the mockup above (word/front, bold definition/back, page reference) — match, or swap for Julie's exact template once you download it?
Output location: drop generated files into H:\My Drive\6th Stuff\Auto-Generated\, or somewhere else?
The .gdoc downloads: getting them now would close the last gap. Doing them, or skip?
