The Middle Ages, sometimes called the Dark Ages, have the misconception of being a period of little development - but we know this to be false.The Renaissance, from 1350 AD to 1600 AD (rough estimates), was a progression of ideas, a rediscovery of classical thoughts and ideas. Europe developed new ideas, technologies, philosophies, economies, and governments. But in a lot of ways European society didn't change much - depends on social class.
The Renaissance was a time period - not a singular event.
Those guys pictured - the great artists of the Renaissance - were not even contemporaries!
So what are we going to do for this time period, for this shift in ideas, thoughts, this rediscovery?
I think it's time for a friendly competition. A quiz bowl.
You will still have a reading quiz (Ch. 12) on Friday 1/9/2015
But between now and Monday 1/12/2015, we will prep, study, and compete.
Here are the things that are fair game (these are the things you NEED to know, understand, be able to connect not just simply define) ...

- how did society change them?
