To review for the Explorers Quiz, re-read the information from class. This is the Explorers site we used, and here is a link to the Explorers Quiz.

Good Luck!

Answer the question: What have I learned about the Renaissance in the last two classes?

Think about the last two classes and reflect on game we played, the material you read, and the reports your group wrote. Explain with details and specific information what you learned and what you found interesting about the Renaissance.

In the title section, write “What have I learned about the Renaissance?”

In the post section, answer the question. Make sure to write a full paragraph describing everything you have learned about the Renaissance. Make sure to spell check, grammar check, read out loud, and format with paragraph spacing before you click publish.

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

Make sure to write two detailed paragraphs describing your feelings in response to the following statement and question. Make sure to spell check, grammar check, read out loud, and format with paragraph spacing before you click publish.

#1. Think about class today and reflect on the presentations you listened to. Explain with details and specific information what you learned and what you found interesting about the presentations you heard in class.

#2. What would you change to improve your interview/presentation if you were to do the assignment again?

Now that you have finished your interview you need to post your work on the blog. Your post must include all of the following:

• A Title
• Paragraph about your person (see instructions below)
• The recorded version of your interview
• A picture of him/her with the url below it
• Pictures of his/her greatest accomplishments with the urls below them

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.
