Renaissance Values Humanism Individualism Skepticism Well-Roundedness As you know, the Renaissance was a “rebirth” of new ideas and values. Today, you are going to focus on these new values by completing a station activity. The class will be divided into 6 groups; each group will start at a station (6 total stations) Each station has a folder with a handout on one value. As a group, work together to define that value and analyze why it was important to the Renaissance. Humanism Individualism Skepticism Well-Roundedness Secularism Classicism

Groups: Pd. 2 Melina, Abby, Brian, Trenton, Sebastian, Adriana Talia, Aubrie, Madison, Isabelle, Raquel, Amy Devin, Kate, Holly, Natalie, Jesus, Kinson Daniel, Andrew, Victorie, Katrina, Marce, Jean Kenzie, Mariah, Romina, Alexis, Nick, Salvador Liz, Leanie, Franklin, Ashley, Veronica

Renaissance Values Humanism Individualism Skepticism Well-Roundedness As you know, the Renaissance was a “rebirth” of new ideas and values. Today, you are going to focus on these new values by completing a graffiti board. This strategy will challenge you to learn about one value and represent it in a creative/visual way. Humanism Individualism Skepticism Well-Roundedness Secularism Classicism

GRAFFITI BOARD All students will be broken up into six groups and given a specific value to focus on. You will take all your knowledge of that value and transfer it onto the graffiti board. On the graffiti board you should write facts, draw pictures, sketch important concepts or reiterate ideas about your value. Do NOT just copy information from the handout. It is your blank canvas, do whatever you like. It should be a free expression of your knowledge. BE CREATIVE! Everyone must contribute! After your graffiti board is finished, you will present it to the class. Make sure you are knowledgeable on your value – you are teaching it!
