Webquest: Leading Figures of the Renaissance

Welcome to Renaissance Europe!  

Today, you will create baseball cards (or Pokémon cards, whichever makes you happier) for the leading figures of the Renaissance.

Figures for you to research:
1. Johannes Gutenberg
2. Michelangelo
3. Titian
4. Albrecht Durer
5. Nicolaus Copernicus
6. Andreas Visalius
7. Isabella I of Spain
8. Elizabeth I of England
9. William Shakespeare
10. Miguel Cervantes
11. Leonardo da Vinci
12. Extra Credit  Find your own figure!

To do this research, you should use online Encyclopedia Britannica.  It does not matter what order you do your cards in--just make sure they are perfect!  Remember: the more time you spend on researching now, the stronger your knowledge is for assessments and projects.

Good luck!

If you finish early, you can always go to freerice.com or another educational web site to find something to do.
