Renaissance And Discovery

Chapter 10 Reading Questions & Terms

Use these questions to help you identify the significant information in your reading. We will not cover all of the material in class, thus you should either be outlining or answering these questions on your own as you read to help yourself retain the information. If you have questions on assigned reading, or are having a hard time answer any of these questions be sure to bring them up in class the day after the reading was assigned. This type of textbook work is an expectation, as this is a college class I will not be collecting it, however if you do not do it you are not likely to pass this class or the AP European History Exam.

Note – These questions are to help guide your reading in order for you to pull out the most important information and make the connections you need to understand each time period. They are not a separate assignment that I will collect. I want you to view them as a study guide, not a homework assignment.

Instructions: Define or identify all of the following terms, people and events. Be sure to address the 5 W’s (who, what, when, where, and why/significance). Your definitions should be written in your own words, do NOT simply paraphrase or quote from the book. Definitions may be anywhere from 2-5 sentences in length.
