CP English 12: Renaissance Webquest
Since I cannot talk today, we're going to kill three birds with one stone with this webquest.
1. As an overview, read these two pages: One, Two. A couple of quiz questions that will likely pop up on Thursday are 1) What does "Renaissance" mean? and 2) Where did the Renaissance begin?
2. Open the Renaissance Webquest here. Following the guy's instructions, you and your partner will come together to create a 250-word (roughly 1/2 page) magazine or newspaper-style article on the topic I assign you. The site has plenty of links to choose.
3. Write the article, but include a Works Cited page using the MLA format. An overview is here, but the format you will need to use to cite websites is here. Don't worry about in-text citation for now- we'll work on that later.
4. Once completed, be sure to put your name and your partner's name on the page, saving it as a .doc file. Email me the finished product: fmmorris@chatham.k12.nc.us.
ROCK!
