Unit 2 REFORMATION TRADING CARDS

You will work in groups of 3 to create 6 Reformation Era “trading/baseball cards” to “trade” in class. You will choose from a list of reformers and religions that either originated in Europe or impacted Europe to complete this task.

● Day 1: In class, you will spend time to create your “stats” using computers or textbooks. Everyone will research and create 2 trading cards. You may choose how your group wants to divide up the research.

● Day 2: Finish stats and make sure each person in your group has completed all of their baseball cards. Discuss each card with your group members. Have a preliminary ranking in mind before we trade.

● Day 3: You will pair up with another group that was assigned different cards than your group.

- You each share your cards, including the role of the group, reformer or religion in the overall course of the Reformation. In the end, remember what we’re looking for: the overall impact of the Reformation on Europe—socially and/or politically, as well as in matters of faith. When we are finished, you need to have an answer to the following: To what extent are these ideas/movements still present in our world today? (15 minutes per side = 30 minutes)

- When both sides have shared, you will determine the order of significance from all events presented. As a group, you will rank your combined cards in each category in order from most important to least important, and be able to defend your group’s position. (15 minutes)

-Final share—remainder of class.
