  1. The Renaissance A Web Quest for Fifth grade social Studies Designed by, Joanna Price Joprice@camden.rutgers.edu

  2. Introduction The Renaissance is a historical period of time where there was rebirth in areas of learning, art, and exploration. The renaissance occurred 1300-1600A.D. During this time famous figures were creating works of great significance still today. The goal of this web quest is for Students to pick a historical figure from the Renaissance to research. Based on the information that they discover, they will write and illustrate a short story centered on their Renaissance figure and their life.

  3. The Task • Imagine that you are authors working for a Publishing Company, who specialize in children's books.   You have an assignment to create a short story about a historical Renaissance figure.  You will work to write a short story about a historical Renaissance figure that will be chosen from the historical figures we have discussed in class so far.

  4. The Process • First you must get familiar with a short story on a historical figure that has been done before. • Read the short story on Abraham Lincoln called "Honest Abe“. • After reading the story, create an order of events listing three things that happened in the story using PowerPoint. Use one slide for each event in the story.

  5. The Process 2. After you become familiar on how to write a short story about a famous person in History it is now time to research a figure for your own story. • Choose a figure from the list on the next slide to research.

  6. The Process • William Shakespeare • Christopher Columbus • Michelangelo • Leonardo Da Vinci • Donatello • Raphael • Nicolas Copernicus • Niccolò Machiavelli • Galileo • Hernán Cortés

  7. The Process • Use the search engine linked to the name of your person to search that persons life and their contributions to society and the renaissance. 3. To make sure you gather as much information as possible, use this worksheet to record your research.  If you cannot find out all the information on the research worksheet, don't worry.  These websites have plenty of information that can be used for a short story.

  8. The process 4. Once you become familiar with your historical figure you should begin to plan out the story you will write. • To make it easier, it is a good idea to organize your thoughts for short story in a story concept map.  

  9. The Process 5. Once you have the first draft done, switch with another student for some peer editing.  When you get your story back, look over the suggestions your classmates made and now make any changes necessary.  To make sure you are on the right track, look at the rubric in the evaluation part of this web quest. 

  10. The Process 6. When your final draft is finished, create a power point for your story like you did for the example story. Except this time type the whole story in a series of slides and include pictures to illustrate the story. Get creative with your slides but make sure the illustrations or designs relate to your story.
