Monday - students continued working on their Italian Renaissance maps, which were due Tuesday. We also discussed the reasons why the Renaissance started in Italy, and the development of city-states. Then, students were split into 2 groups and had to fill out a chart on either Venice or Florence. They then copied down the information on to their own comparison chart.
Tuesday - we looked at a couple videos displaying images of Florence and Venice. We also read pages in the textbook discussing the Renaissance role of the family and the Medici's. Then students did a role-play activity in which they had to act out some of the Medici assassinations.
Reminders:
- Textbook Questions: p. 221, #1, 2, 3b, 4a, and 5 - due next class!
