"Shakespeare Mystery" Worksheet

If you missed class the day we did our "Shakespeare Mystery," each student in the class was given a different clue and everyone had to work together to find out the answers to the questions on the worksheet. Unfortunately, that's impossible to do if there is only one of you! So I've created a little slide show to help you catch up! Either get a worksheet or copy and paste the worksheet below into Word and answer the questions there. Just don't forget to include your name!

Renaissance Art

Miss our Renaissance Art days? Sad you couldn't make it! To catch up a bit on what you missed, take a look at the slide show below! Try to guess who created each work of art before looking at the next slide! How many did you get right?


Now check out the slide show below to check out the different types of art that became popular during the Renaissance! To make up for the missing art assignment you have three options:
#1 Draw a portrait like you see in the slide show - a picture of someone from the chest up.
#2 Draw a perspective drawing like you see in the slide show - objects in the front of the picture should be closer than those in the back.
OR
#3 Follow the simple directions in the slides that say "Now it's your turn!" to create a cool perspective picture!

The Final Project Power Point

Soooooooooooo.....

If you need a reminder of what I went on and on about in the Powerpoint presentation in which I described the project and your different options for how you would demonstrate your learning...

HERE IT IS! 
P.S. This is going to look a little weird because I had to convert it to Powerpoint from the Mac version (Keynote), so some stuff is a little out of place.
