Renaissance Humanism Slideshow Assignment Guidelines:

Read the first paragraph and bullet points about humanism on the sheet “Renaissance Humanism.”
Choose three of the seven Renaissance individuals listed on the handout to focus on. (You can do a fourth for extra credit)
Create a four-slide presentation. The first slide should be the title slide (“Renaissance Humanism”).
For the next three slides, each slide should feature one of the Renaissance individuals you chose. Research your individuals using the textbook and Internet.
On each slide, include your individual’s name, an image that represents humanism (if possible), and bullet points explaining how their work and life are examples of humanism.

DON'T FORGET:
-Cite all sources.
-Your images should be one of the writer/artist's works, not pictures of the artist.
-Your text on each slide must answer the question: "How is this person and their work an example of humanism?"

RENAISSANCE HUMANISM = held up Ancient Greece and Rome as models of human life and thought; focused on man (in the gender-neutral sense) and his intellectual powers; focused on individual worth and potential; focused on many secular (non-religious) aspects of life; and focused on the ideal of seeking fulfillment and meaning in daily life, not just in spiritual or religious life.

Have a great weekend,
