Flipped Lesson

The lesson I've created, will give the students an introduction to the Renaissance period in Europe. The highlighted subject of the flipped lesson, is humanism, the foundation of the Renaissance movement. After learning exactly what humanism is/was, and viewing artwork that demonstrates humanistic ideals and trademarks, the students should be able to put this to use. In class the next day, we will have a bit of fun. The students will be given paper, colored pencils, markers, and crayons. They will each be required to create an image that shows aspects of humanism. I will then have them write 3-4 sentences on the back of the image, explaining each humanistic detail they added, and why they chose to add it.
