Block 3 - We reviewed the "Big Picture" of the Renaissance and watched a thought provoking video called, "The History of Ideas - the Renaissance" on youtube.... and then discussed some of the ideas from the video.
Students spent the rest of their class time working on their review questions.
Block 7 - We got together with Ms. A's class, watched the Renaissance video projects and feasted on some food :)

For the next week, our Socials 8 class will be working on a collaborative project with Ms. Atamanuk's English 8 class.
Students have been put into groups and given a Renaissance topic. As a group they will choose a format (commercial, talk show, game show, etc) to present their topic. They will research, write a script, perform, video and edit their project. In the end, they will get to watch each other's videos and enjoy a Renaissance feast.
