• Teacher-developed Pictionary®-like cards with one Renaissance term printed on each card

Instructional Activities

1. Begin by inviting a few student volunteers to read their fable or satire to the class.
   
   
2. Explain that this session will be a review for the test coming in the next session. The review will take the form of a Renaissance Pictionary®-like game.
   
   
3. Divide the class into two teams. Using the teacher-developed cards with various Renaissance terms, have one student at a time attempt to visually illustrate the term while the student’s teammates guess what it is. When the team has guessed correctly, they must then define the term to ensure mastery. Possible terms to use include the following: Renaissance, Florence, Flanders, Medici, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Erasmus, Petrarch, perspective, Sistine Chapel, city-states, Machiavelli, The Prince, Pope Julius II.
   
   
4. For homework, have students study for the test on the Renaissance, scheduled for the next session.
