Discussion Time (small groups): • Thinking about what you have seen, how could you characterise the differences between the Middle Ages (before 1400 ish) and the Renaissance (after 1400 ish) • Be prepared to talk about at least one ‘contrast pair’ of images in the slideshow • Feed back to the class • Help construct a 3-4 sentence statement for the class to write into their notes.
