The Pack contains associated resources for the learning experience, typically in the form of articles and videos. There is a teacher Pack (with only teacher information) and a student Pack (which contains only student information). As a teacher, you can toggle between both to see everything.
Here are the teacher pack items for Cultural Activity of the Renaissance:
Overview In this experience, students are introduced to Leonardo da Vinci as a Renaissance man. Then they learn more broadly about the cultural activity of the Renaissance in the areas of architecture, painting, music, and literature. Next, they work in small groups to research and present one significant figure from the Renaissance. Finally, groups create a timeline of important developments of the Renaissance. Students will work in small groups in scenes 3 and 4. Objectives
What would it be like if your community began to suddenly have a creative explosion in terms of art, music, science, and literature? How would that impact your school or your neighborhood? In this experience, you will learn about a period in time where that happened—and changed the world forever.
Objectives
Take two minutes to brainstorm all the jobs that you might be interested in having someday. Think of anything and put it down!
Each of the jobs you chose has a specific set of skills you would need in order to do that job well. Imagine that you could do almost all of them well. That would make you pretty amazing.
To find out about someone who was able to do many jobs well, read Leonardo da Vinci.
What were some of the jobs that da Vinci did well? To list more than one job, separate them with a comma, like this: spaceship, taxi
Point out that many people still try to be “Renaissance people” by pursuing a wide range of interests. Ask students to imagine what a Renaissance person today might be like. For example, a person who dances ballet, bakes pastries, and works as a technology developer might be one example.
