In class over the past 2 days we have worked in groups to read about the major factors and players in the Renaissance. Each student read about 2 topics, and created a summary for their group. Groups then pasted all 10 topics on a poster, and worked to establish connections between these different topics. We then examined each others posters to identify the strongest and weakest connections. Students should have their own notes with a simple summary of each topic, as well as a list of the best connections for each topic that they got from each poster.
Note: Much of this content is from Mr. Dowling’s website, some of the citations from the individual pages didn’t copy well. Some of the text was adjusted to suit the needs of our project.
Here are the readings in case you need to review:
