Day 1
In Class:  The Renaissance Dinner Party! -- Renaissance Dinner Party due by the end of Day 2 for Mr. Barry's class


You’re hosting a dinner party. No. You don’t have to cook. You don’t need to serve drinks. You do need to think about your guests though! Your guests are important figures from the Renaissance. My, what an interesting dinner this would be! You will create a dinner table on a poster-board 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 large paper template provided. 
  • Label the chairs where each guest will sit. Under each guest, provide a three sentence explanation of who they are and their contributions to the Renaissance.
  • 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!
  • Under each guest provide a question you would ask them and explain why you would ask them the questions in one-two sentences.
  • Provide a one sentence explanation of why each person would sit next to the guests they are seated with.
