Biography of an Important Renaissance Figure
As part of our unit on the Renaissance you will be writing a biography on a person from that time period who had great influence on the world. You will be provided with a list of important people from which you will choose one individual. Then, you will research the life of that person, the role that they played in Renaissance society, what they did that was important, what impact did their role, writings, or invention have on society and how does their accomplishment display Renaissance ideals? This could serve as a basis for your character study in Language Arts.
