The Renaissance Continues!

Welcome to the Renaissance Dinner Party!

Due Day 3 of this week!

Renaissance Figures Document 1     Renaissance Figures Document 2

Now that we’ve read about some leaders of the Renaissance, we’re now going to see who YOU think are the best, coolest, most funnest, whatever!  

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 posterboard and provide the following    

1. Choose EIGHT guests of the Renaissance to invite to your dinner party!  Include yourself at the head of the table (duh), 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.

2. 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!

3. Under each guest provide a question you would ask them and explain why you would ask them the questions in one-two sentences. 

4. Provide a one sentence explanation of why each person would sit next to the one other guest.  You only need one explanation…not why these figures would sit next to both guests.  Also, what is one thing/topic these guests would talk about?  For example:  Raphael would sit next to Michelangelo so they could discuss….   You only need to mention each guest once when describing who would sit where!

Who’s invited?....Guest List!!!

William Shakespeare Johannes Guttenburg Raphael    Michelangelo     

 Titian     Albrecht Durer   Andreas Vesalius

Nicolaus Copernicus Queen Isabella of Spain
