UNIT 3: The Renaissance TEXTS:

“The Renaissance” (1848-1864)

Cervantes, from Don Quixote (1990-2030)

Montaigne, “Of Cannibals” (1948-1957)

Machiavelli, from The Prince (2282-2287)

PROJECT QUESTION:

What role does the imagination play in these texts? Answer this question, and then determine: in what ways does that answer speak to or change your understanding of Renaissance culture as described in our reading titled “The Renaissance” on page 1849?

So, it’s asking you to answer the question for the main texts (Don Qiuxote, The Prince, Of Cannibals) first, and then go back to the overview reading of “The Renaissance” in the textbook and consider your answer to this question in relation to Renaissance culture in general.

Individual Project Analyses—REQUIRED ASSIGNMENT* Your analysis sheet must contain the following items: -Standard one-inch margins on all sides, 12-point Times New Roman font, doublespaced lines. -Only your name and the name of the assignment at the top of the first page.

-PAGE 1—A one-page response to how you would answer the Project Question if you were writing an essay. Note your response must include specific references and supporting ideas for all texts in the current unit of study.

-PAGE 2—Four pieces of evidence from the primary texts and an explanation to show how your response to the Project Question is well supported. The four pieces of evidence need to be direct quotes from the text. Following each direct quote, state how that quote helps to prove the point you made on Page 1.

*This assignment is REQUIRED in order to pass this class, regardless of total points earned in the semester.

THEN….

This project will be a power point presentation in which you provide answers for the “Project Question” listed in each unit of the course calendar. In answer to the question you are essentially building an argument, which has a claim. You will support that claim with your reasoning. You will support your reasoning with specific examples from each of the texts. In your powerpoint, you must touch on each main text from that unit in relation to the question.

THE POWERPOINT SHOULD ANSWER THE PROJECT QUESTION FOR EACH TEXT PROVIDED. THEREOFRE THERE ARE 4 TEXTS THAT SHOULD BE READ, THERE SHOULD BE FOUR DIFFERENT SLIDES ANSWERING THE PROJECT QUESTION FOR EACH TEXT INDIVIUDALLY!
