Hey History

During the Middle Ages, religion wielded great influence over art, government and literature.

Also, the Crusades spurred a revival in trade in western Europe

Towns and cities began to grow, nations formed strong governments, and people started to challenge the authority of the church

Next, we will learn about developments in art, literature, and thought marked European life, as well as new ideas in religion that challenged the moral authority of the church

What we just learned/What we will learn

In the Left Column: Using what we know about the Middle Ages, write three or four facts/sentences describing each area of the Middle Ages

Include examples to back up facts

In the Right Column: Next, write a brief prediction for how you believe the Renaissance will be different

Describing the Middle Ages

The Roman Catholic Church dominated both spiritual and political areas of life

Art was dominated by religious icons Feudalism was the main political and social

system; Manorialism was the economic system Society consisted of three major social classes

(nobles, serfs, and clergy) Empires were ruled by emperors or kings who

came to power because it was their divine birth right.

Hey History!

We do not have an exact year for the beginning and the end of the Italian Renaissance, but we do know it was an age of intellectual and artistic revival centered in the classical antiquity of Greek and Roman literature that began about 1350 A.D. and lasted until 1650 A.D.

Today, you will explain the major aspects that defined this period in the world…

Each group gets a Renaissance artist to research. Each group create a visual display (i.e., PowerPoint©, poster,

collage, storyboard) for its assigned Renaissance artist. Each group should research the artist’s life, style of art,

specific names of artwork, pictures of the artist’s works, and a comparison of the artist’s work with Middle Ages style of art.

Topic: Paying for what you’ve earned…

1) How would you feel if you had worked very hard to earn a good grade in a class, and after your hard work the teacher told you that you had to pay for it?

2) Can you think of a scenario involving the Roman Catholic church similar to the one above?

3) What do you think people might do if they were involved in a case like this with the church?

Hey History!

In about 1500, northern humanists argued that the Roman Catholic Church had lost sight of its spiritual mission

Renaissance popes started to sell indulgences, or pardons from punishment for sin which were originally given as a reward for pious deeds, simply to raise $$ for the church

Those who were against these church practices started a religious revolution, known as the Reformation, that would eventually split the church in w. Europe

The Protestant Reformation

Each group will have 5 people… Each group will research and determine the key

information for one of the following categories: early church critics (e.g., Jan Hus, John Wycliffe) prominent reformers (e.g., Desiderius Erasmus, Martin

Luther, Henry VIII, John Calvin, John Knox) key events (e.g., Posting of 95 Theses, Diet of Worms, Henry

VIII split from Catholic Church, Edict of Nantes) key groups (e.g., Lutherans, Calvinists, Anabaptists,

Huguenots, Anglicans) religious conflicts (e.g., Thirty Years War)

Record your answers on the poster provided; at the end we will share and discuss…

How will the Catholic Church respond to the actions of Protestants…

Actions of Protestants include: Northern Humanists expressing concerns about the

church, Humanists urging people to withdraw from the church, Martin Luther criticizes church – leaves to start

Lutheran Church, Henry VIII leaves church – starts Church of England, John Calvin starts Protestant Church in Switzerland

How might the church push back in these circumstances
