Speed Dating Put your Renaissance person’s name and occupation on your name tag. Memorize 3 facts about your person that you will share with the other Renaissance people that you will be “dating”. (You may use scratch paper as a cheat sheet if you need to) Try to impress the person you are talking to. Don’t tell them about your death or your mom. Travel around the room and meet the different Renaissance men and women. Record the facts about the people on your chart as they tell you about themselves. Everyone should be talking to each other! No passing information—that would be a weird date.

Write 1 paragraph justifying your choice. Explain why your person’s contributions were more significant than the rest. How are we still affected by this person’s contributions in today’s world?
