  24. Developing an Essay • Paragraph One • Background: two or three sentences including, in this case, information about the Renaissance. • Example: From the fall of Rome to 1350, Europe was dominated by the Catholic Church. Truth came from the Bible and Pope. In the time period known as the Renaissance around the 1400s that followed, new ideas began to emerge. Scientific and cultural advances allowed for people to see themselves in a new way, and ways of thinking were radically changed forever.

  25. Developing an essay Restating the question in your own word with the key words defined • Original question: How did the Renaissance change man’s view of man? • Example: Reflecting on this time period, one has to wonder how exactly people’s views were changing.

  29. My example: • The Renaissance turned the world, and man’s place in the world, upside down. From the fall of Rome to 1350, Europe was dominated by the Catholic Church. Truth came from the Bible and Pope. In a time period known as the Renaissance around the 1400s that followed, new ideas began to emerge. Scientific and cultural advances allowed for people to see themselves in a new way, and ways of thinking were radically changed forever. Reflecting on this time period, one has to wonder how exactly people’s views were changing. Attention shifted from God to man, heaven to earth, astrology to reason, and sin to optimism. The changes can be seen in literature, astronomy, and anatomy.

  30. Paragraph 2 • Body Paragraph #1 • Literature • This paragraph needs • Baby Thesis • Argument • Evidence

  31. Argument vs. Evidence • Argument: A statement for or against a point • Evidence: that which tends to prove or disprove something • Are the following statements arguments or evidence? • Cats are the best pets • Cats are smarter than dogs • Cats are much less friendly than dogs • Cats smell better than dogs

  32. Argument vs. Evidence • Are the following arguments or evidence? • My cat loves strangers because she greets them all at the door. • My cat never has accidents in the house, does not meow in the house, does not shed, and always cuddles with me at night. • My cat knows when I’m about to give her a bath, so she will hide. She also can learn tricks, unlike my dog.

  33. Combining Evidence and Arguments • Cats are the best pets. My cat never has accidents in the house, does not meow in the house, does not shed, and always cuddles with me at night. • My cat knows when I’m about to give her a bath, so she will hide. She also can learn tricks, unlike my dog. Therefore, cats are smarter than dogs.

  34. Literature argument • Looking at literature, how has man’s view changed of himself during the Renaissance? • People of the Renaissance believe…… • Man should be celebrated • Man is capable and impressive • Man is comparable to God • People during the Middle Ages believed…… • Everyone sins and should be fearful of judgment day. • Man’s life should be about pleasing God.

  35. Literature argument • What would be a good baby thesis (argument) specifically for how man’s view of man changed in literature? • Through literature, one can see how man’s view of himself changed from fearfulness of God’s judgment to the celebration of life and man’s capabilities.
