The Renaissance Revisited

The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short, but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark. Michelangelo

This inspirational quote is a driving force of many of the projects for our students, and the Renaissance Research project In Mrs. Kandice’s history class was no exception. Each student had to choose a pivotal figure during the Renaissance time period, research the history, the life, and the accomplishments of each person. They then had to create a collage and present their project to the class. They learned about famous playwrights, artists, inventors, and rulers such as Galileo, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, William Shakespeare, Gutenberg, Copernicus, and Queen Elizabeth I.
