Rapping History is a supplementary method for American
History instruction, converting chapters of two popular history books (Zinn's
liberal People's History and Schweikart's conservative Patriot's History) into
short poetic segments and setting them to a variety of musical forms. The goal
is to make history more appealing to young people, and perhaps even
entertaining

World History Web Quest
The Art of the Italian Renaissance Web-Quest
“If people knew how hard I
worked to get my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all.
Lord, grant that I may
always desire more than I can accomplish.”
-Michelangelo
Introduction
The Italian
Renaissance was a wonderful time in history for the arts. You will have the
opportunity to learn about the life and talents of an artist, scientist, or
architect from this time in history. You will learn of how they were inspired
in their work, the sacrifices that they were required to make, and how their
work was received by the individuals of that time.
While you are
viewing the art take the time to appreciate the color. At the time that these
pictures were painted, paint had to be created by the artist and his helpers.
It took time for these individuals to crush and blend the materials used in the
paint order to get the perfect shade. Look at the artist's techniques and the
details that were used in creating these masterpieces. I want you to learn to
appreciate art and the effort it took to create it.
Task:
This site
will help you to create a class presentation on an artist, scientist, or
architect, which was a major influence during the Italian Renaissance. It is also to help you develop your computer
skills. Be sure to read the entire Web-Quest
before you begin and refer to it often while completing the assignment.
Grade: One test grade (40%) and two classwork grades (each worth 25%).
Due: Draft due at the end of class. Final presentations due on April
18.
Process: You may work with
a partner. You will need to choose an
individual from the list below.

di Vinci
Boticelli
Michelangelo
Raphael
Vasari
Pieter Brueghel the Elder
Jan van Eyck Science and Architecture
Donatello Kepler
Ghiberti
Galileo
Gozzoli Brunelleschi
Dürer Bramante
Copernicus
Once you have
chosen individuals you will then use the resource section to gather the information
necessary to complete a 10-slide PowerPoint presentation for the class.
Your
presentation should include but is not
limited to 10 “pages”. Do NOT cut
and paste. Do NOT write a book on
each page. Do NOT use type size
smaller than 28pts.
Requirements:
Make sure you
have included the following information in your presentation.
1. At least two different works of art or inventions created by
this individual with title and explanation.
2. You must answer the
following questions in your presentation:
·
What influenced this individual to become the

Did they receive any support from individuals?
Who were they?

·
How was their art or invention perceived in
Italy during this time?
·
How did they feel about their own work?
·

Conclusion:
Once you have
completed this project you should now be familiar with an individual of the
renaissance. You should understand what influenced them in creating the works
of art that are still popular to this day. You should also understand why their
art was also important in their own time.
Make sure
that you practice presentation. All
members of the group must contribute in some way when the presentation is being
given. This is your chance to teach the
class. It is important that you relay to
the class your knowledge of the individual in which you chose.
