Hi everyone!
Today we started off by talking about the TED talks we watched last night. Who knew mosquitos were so interesting? TED talks are an example of how big ideas are changing the world today. Big ideas also made the Renaissance happen. We watched a 10 minute video clip about how the Black Death not only caused massive population change, it also changed how survivors saw the world and expressed their ideas, it also forced technological and political changes because of the massively reduced population/work force.
Today's homework is three questions from the handout you received on the conditions that led to the Renaissance beginning in Italy. This assignment is worth 12 marks: Question 1 (graphic organizer) 5 marks, Question 3 (sentence answer - full sentence, please!) 2 marks, and Question 4 (paragraph of 3-5 sentences, correct punction, grammar, spelling) 5 marks.
Please make sure you finish reading the handout and include information from the handout in your answers.
See you tomorrow morning, when we look at how conditions in the city states promoted the Renaissance.
