Achievements During the Renaissance (4/14/11)

Objective: We will identify some of the achievements made during the Renaissance and understand how they were influenced by humanism.

Task 1: Submit your homework by reading 29.7 Advances in Science and Mathematics and completing the graphic organizer.


Task 2: Track Mr. Herrera as he goes through the presentation on Renaissance Achievements and fill in the graphic organizer as he speaks about each slide.


Task 3: Check to make sure both portfolio assignments you have done are stapled correctly and have written reflections that show excellence. See Mr. Herrera's example on the board. Get Mr. Herrera's approval before moving forward.


Task 4: Choose 3 achievements from the slide and create a funny comic to show your understanding of the achievements. Each square in the comic should have dialogue that explains the achievement and why it was made. Look at Mr. Herrera's example (have integrity and do not copy).


Homework: Complete all tasks not yet completed (this includes anything you have not submitted to Mr. Herrera since we started using the laptops).
