*****************************************
Renaissance Talk Show Project: Due June 7 Dear Parents, We started a class research project today! Students have been assigned to work in groups of 3. Students can work alone as with any project assigned. This is a class project with the exception of maybe the mask which can be worked on at home. We went to the library today and will go again tomorrow to allow students time to research information on an important Renaissance person. The students are required to write 3 paragraphs, 4 sentences in each paragraph (12 sentences total) about the person they selected (their life and accomplishments) and create a mask that represents that person. The mask can be made out of any material except notebook paper. Don’t go out and buy anything if you have materials they can use at home. I would like for them to be very creative. I have construction paper they can use in the classroom as well.
In each group, one student was assigned to do research on the computer, one student was assigned to do research using a book and one was assigned to do research using an encyclopedia. I had our librarian to pull a variety of books the students could use along with several sets of encyclopedias. Students that do not take part in their group’s research will be asked to work alone starting tomorrow if they have not completed any of the assigned research by the end of class tomorrow ( June 2).
Each student will complete a self evaluation at the end of the project sharing their contribution to the success of the project.
The project is due Monday June 7th. Rubric Below:
Renaissance Talk Show Project In groups of three, research an important figure from the Renaissance (list below). Pick one person from your group to play this person on a Renaissance talk show.

Any material except writing paper can be used to make your mask. Remember, the mask must be worn or held to your face during the talk show. Be as creative as possible. Rubric: 1.
