The Renaissance Personal Book
Purpose: Over the next two weeks, you will demonstrate your knowledge about The Renaissance by creating an 8-page mini book. It will be made out of one large piece of construction paper and will consist of 8 graded pages.
Materials Required: Colored Pencils and a Fine-Point Black Pen
Required Sections in Your Book:
1. Grading Page – The back page will be used to grade this project. Create a 7x4 box, and label each column with the following numbers: 40 32 28 24.
2. Six Topic Pages – The interior pages will contain six topics that I have chosen. Information can be found using the resources displayed:
· Humanism – MEMT, pg. 432
· Feudalism Ends & Trade Expands – MEMT, pgs. 429-431
· Advances in the Arts – MEMT, pg. 437
· Leonardo da Vinci – DV; MEMT, pg. 438
· William Shakespeare – WS; MEMT, pg. 447
· Gutenberg & The Printing Press – MEMT, pg. 449
3. Cover Page – Design a cover page once the rest of the book is completed. The cover should contain what you believe are the main ideas about the Renaissance. It should be colorful and well-designed.
