Northern Renaissance & Reformation Power point Part 2

Description:

This presentation contains 48 slides.

Free Study Guide

The format is easy for students to

take notes with and understand.

Topics discussed:

How the Italian Renaissance

spread north by cultural diffusion...

Important inventions that facilitated the

spread like the printing press...

Protestant reformation and the

problems with the early Catholic church...

A virtual tour of St. Peter's Basillica that

will take your breath away!

Lutheranism...

The spread of Protestantism...

Calvinism...

King Henry VIII, his wives, his

break

with the Catholic Church...

A terrific skit about King Henry's

wives performed by my students.

I encourage you to have your

students do their own version &

upload it to You Tube...

Baroque Art......

The Jesuits...

The difference between primary

and secondary sources...

There is an art activity with an

example roughly drawn by me....

Your students will do great with

this one!

Ideas

Get the Free Study Guide

Here are some ideas to use with the Reformation presentation. These are only

ideas, and I know you have your own great ones!

I always give the study guide while I am giving the presentation. This way the students

have something in their hands to actively do while I am teaching. I always have them use a highlighter for sections where I did not actually give blanks, so they still have something to

engage them. At the end of class, I give a class work grade for students who keep up with

the lecture and have all their blanks and words highlighted.

At the end of the first lecture , you could have students select one of these concepts

to do an art project. When I say art project, my students know that I mean a graphic

guide~ An image that somehow allows them to put the meaningful parts of the lecture into it. For example....One of the terms in the first section is

War of the Roses....They could draw a rose or makea rose from construction paper....the pedals or the leaves of the rose should have important terms written on them. Even the vase the roses are in could include a pocket for terms and definitions. For example, on one pedal of the flower, the student could write William Shakespeare- and his

historical importance on the back. Another pedal or leaf could say War of the

Roses and it’s meaning on back

Johannes Gutenberg- invented the printing press and its impact

These things reinforce everything taught in class.

These creations can be placed around the room and used during study sessions.

My students always amaze me!

The second lesson has several ideas for graphic guides.....the social ladder...they can really

make a ladder as some of my students did.

The ladder would have terms written on each rung.

Lightning bolt (having to do with Martin Luther)

The storm around it could have important terms.

If you allow your students to do elaborate on meaningful projects each lesson will take a

few days.

It’s not simple “arts and crafts”. It’s content disguised as fun.

My method is always to give the guide and the lecture then allow students to construct something to show me they understand what we learned.

I do have a graphic guide activity idea in the presentation on one of the sections...It refers to Henry VIII’s wives.....

I hope these ideas spark your own ideas and I'd love to hear them. Please share photos from

your class with me. I will share them on my site with your permission.

Screen Shots From This Presentation

About this item:

This Presentation is 106 slides in Powerpoint Format

After finishing my presentation on Renaissance and Reformation, I wanted to include other details and people from the period. I developed this portion as Part 1 because it is a great foundation to teach before the original presentation of Renaissance and Reformation (below). Each of the presentations can stand alone, but compliment each other rather than repeat each other. There are few slides which I duplicated from the other presentation like the virtual field trip to St. Peter's Basilica. I did not want anyone to miss that. This presentation pays more attention to maps and details and comes with a free lecture guide with over 50 fill in the blanks for students to follow along with.

Includes Information on:

Italy, France, Germany, England, Switzerland, Renaissance, Humanism, Medieval,

Humanities, clergy, sonnet, Petrarch, autobiographies, individualism, Machiavelli, latin,

indulgences, Lorenzo Valla, Society and class in Italy, government in Italy, Signori, condottieri,

Florence, Rome and Venice and their role in the Italian Renaissance, Medici, Lorenzo the Magnificent,

Savonarola, heresy, architecture, St. Peter's Basilica, Pope Alexander VI, Pope Leo X, Doge, Council of

Ten, Sculpture and Painting, Leonardo daVinci, Michelangelo Buonorrati, Raffaello Sanzio, Raphael,

Several Colorful examples of the Art of the Renaissance.

A Letter of Recommendation for Ronna Williams:

Ronna joined the online instruction faculty on the internet. She had missed the initial

training sessions and the collaboration that the other online faculty members had been privileged to. However; Ronna used her astute computer skills to gain a full understanding of the software and the variations available to present courses online. Eventually, she was advising others on the techniques she had developed to enhance the content as well as the appearance of ‘her’ CSN courses. Without a doubt some of the best courses on the CSN site are the history classes Ronna has prepared. Ronna was asked to share her knowledge of the various sites and applications of content with her colleagues at the professional development day for the AISA teachers and staff. Her presentation was outstanding and generated interest from all the attendees. In her usual spirit of cooperation she offered to place all her information online to share with those that were interested. Ronna Williams not only is able to offer a course online that has sound content with a motivational presentation; she also is a caring teacher. .

Ronna’s contributions to the AISA CSN program have been’ above the call of duty.’

John Westbrook

Letter of Recommendation

June 11, 2009

I take great pleasure in recommending Mrs. Ronna Williams. Mrs.Williams has taught at our school for several years. During this time, her record has been impeccable, her knowledge and expertise unquestioned, and her capabilities as a teacher and a leader of youth have been an inspiration to us all. She is respected and literally loved by her students.

Mrs. Williams faced some very serious issues growing up but she overcame all of this and is now using it to relate to her students. Her faith and confidence is an inspiration to the entire school.

Sincerely,

James E. Partin, Headmaster



Dixie Academy
