My, what an interesting dinner this would be! You will create a dinner table on a posterboard and provide the following

Choose six guests of the Renaissance to invite to your dinner party! Include yourself at the head of the table and seat your guests next to others at the table on the poster board provided. Label the chairs where each guest will sit. Under each guest, provide a two to three sentence explanation of who they are. Print a picture of each guest and put it on the seats at the dinner table. The image does not need to be in color, but it is nice to see some color now and again!
