Beginner Level
In this 4 week course, students will learn about the European Renaissance. Each week students will learn about a new topic to help them stay focused and maximize their learning during the 50-minute class session. Students will be provided with assignments outside of class to help reinforce what they learned in class. We will follow the schedule below. Week 1: What Even is The Renaissance? - Black Death - Humanism - Petrarch - Michelangelo - Leonardo da Vinci Week 2: Changes in Literature and Science - Printing Press - Dante Alighieri - William Shakespeare - Nicolaus Copernicus - Galileo Galilei - Sir Francis Bacon - Sir Isaac Newton Week 3: Changes in Religious Thought and Government - The Reformation - Martin Luther - King Henry VIII - Church of England - Niccolo Machiavelli - John Locke - Montesquieu - Voltaire - Rousseau Week 4: Renaissance Review Game - Kahoot This course is designed to be mostly a PowerPoint presentation with some videos that are relevant to the topic. Students will review what they learned in the previous lesson, then transition to the new content, and the class will end with a comprehension check to ensure students understand the new material. All students will need to have a functional camera and microphone as class discussions are an essential component of the course. Students will be provided with a guided note worksheet in both a digital format and a pdf format to meet each student’s needs. During the final class, students will review what they have learned by completing an interactive jeopardy-like game. Students do not need any prior knowledge about the Renaissance to get the most out of this class!
