Renaissance Scene on a Slide
Since our first task is to answer the question, "Who was Leonardo da Vinci and how did he exemplify the Renaissance period?" it’s important to understand the Renaissance Period as the backdrop for Leonardo’s life. It was in the context of this innovative and exciting time of history that Leonardo found the perfect arena for his work and contributions.
We will create a Group Slideshow of “Scenes from the Renaissance” for all of us to learn about various aspects of Life in the Renaissance.
You will work with someone from your class to create a Google Slide for just one of the following topics. Be creative. How can you get across a lot of information in a limited visual space?
Use the reference books in class as well as credible websites to find out about your particular aspect of life in the Renaissance. Then work together to plan and create an attractive and detailed slide. Include factual information from your research that teaches the viewer about your subject. Your finished product should demonstrate your understanding of life during this time period.
