Day 55: The Spread of Renaissance Ideas (5/23/11)

Standard: 7.8.4 Describe the growth and effects of new ways of disseminating information.

Aim: The historians of 2016 will explain how the Renaissance spread throughout Europe.

Task 1: Submit your homework. If you already completed the homework online, you do not have to submit it again.

Task 2 Quick Question: If you were there... You are a student from Holland, studying law at the University in Bologna, Italy. Life in Renaissance Italy is so exciting! You've met artists and writers and learned so much about art and literature. You can hardly wait to tell people at home about everything you've learned. But now a lawyer in Bologna has offered you a chance to stay and work in Italy. Will you stay in Italy or return to Holland? Why?

Task 3: We will be reading this page on the Spread of the Renaissance through Europe and taking notes using this graphic organizer.

Task 4: Track Mr. Sanders as he goes through the expectations and the parts of the grading rubric that we will use for the presentations.
