Check out the Medieval Slideshow and be sure to work on 3 tasks each day, and 15 by the end of the week. They are designed to be fun so please enjoy this.... even though I know you will. Take pictures and document your creations I, and many of the other teachers, are pretty bummed that we can't enjoy this week together. Also use the form each day to track and record what you have done.

I provided an example which you may not use. You need to add an explorer with:
-A title page for the Not Top Explorer with a short catchy slogan.
-A SHORT summary of the failures or lack of success of the explorer.
Do not put too much information (When and where he was born=no; who he sailed for and what he did=yes)

Use the documents and guided questions to decide if exploration helped Europe more than it hurt the rest of the world.

After analyzing the two visual aides, write a two paragraph journal entry (one perspective of a crew-member or one of a captain) to describe what life would have been like on board a ship during the age of Exploration. Be sure to use plenty to information that you acquired from the sources as well as your prior knowledge. Be sure to include the regions you would have explored based on the captain you are sailing under.

Unfortunately for you, the supposed clues left by Leo are all on various objects that were common of the time. You will travel from Italy to Germany to England and use the clues to determine what the Ultimate Renaissance Man was trying to tell us--- or if it's just another teenage hoax. (Read the introduction because there are a few hyperlinks)

Set a 30 minute timer to get out..... Good Luck!!

Check this out: The Reformation was supposed to be a way for devoted Christians to practice Christianity the way they wanted as they saw flaws with Catholicism. There were certain places that responded extremely harsh and others followed suit! ::wow::

Read the article about the Spanish Inquisition and what exactly they did to try to make the Catholic Church strong and unify the people of Spain.
