Renaissance and Reformation
This 6th-8th grade class will bring history alive for your student. Class time will be engaging and used to help students better understand the fascinating era of the Renaissance and Reformation. Map work and projects will help students connect events and learn the "whys"of history, which will in turn pique your student's interest in this action packed time in our history. Reading, worksheets, and the vast majority of tests will be completed at home, leaving class time for the hands-on activities and discussion.
"Spanning the Renaissance, the Reformation, world exploration, and some early American history, this exciting volume explores the backdrop to and significance of time-honored contributions found in art, music, literature, science, and philosophy of this rich era from 1455 to 1707. Students will be introduced to famous characters and world changers such as Ivan the Great, Henry VIII, Jeanne D’Albret, Francis Bacon, Pocahontas, Galileo, K’ang-hsi, and many more". - themysteryofhistory.com
