The term “Renaissance person” is used to describe someone who has a wide range of knowledge or skills. Identify some public figure whom you would consider to be a Renaissance person. Write a detailed paragraph defending and explaining your choice.  Then, find and post a picture of the person you described.

On your own blog in the title section, write “Renaissance Person”

In the post section, post your paragraph first and then your picture with the url below it. Make sure to write a detailed and specific paragraph describing your response. Make sure to spell check, grammar check, read out loud, and format with paragraph spacing before you click publish.

Keep in mind that I will be looking at the structure as well as content of your paragraph. Your paragraph should have the following for a perfect score.

Strong, topic sentence explains points to be discussed.

Clear main idea(s) provides reasons, details, or facts with transitions.

Specific supporting sentences explain main idea(s) with examples and evidence.

Strong, clear concluding sentence provides clear link and closure to topic.
