EURO - Tuesday, 11/6

Today....

1. Stamped RG #15

2. Renaissance Quiz

3. Graphic Organizer: Cause/Effect of Reformation

HOMEWORK:
for Thursday
Create a PIRATES Chart on Elizabethan England (see directions below) and choose a topic (I'll talk more about this on Weds when I intro. the project).


Elizabethan England PIRATES:
- Using your book and the web resources below, create a chart identifying the top two main points for each part of Elizabethan society (Political, Intellectual, etc).
- Main points can include people, events, concepts, etc. You should provide a few sentence description/definition of the point, including why it is significant to Elizabethan history.

WEB RESOURCES:
Please do not use Wikipedia.

BBC - The Tudors (this is probably your best bet, very thorough)

Elizabethan England (a simplistic overview organized into categories that can provide a starting point)

Shakespeare's England (quick overview article with weblinks)

Britain Express - Tudor England
(another excellent source, organized into categories)

The Elizabethan Age (well organized in subsections)

I'm kinda confused...
Are we just pulling main points out of the European Renaissance work/notes we've already done, or is this a completely different research project??
I'm having a tough time picking out what's Elizabethan and what's Mary's and what's European Reniassance, etc.
Is European Reniassance and Elizabethan England and Reniassance England all the same thing?

Elizabethan England is the same as Renaissance England, it just refers to a very specific period of the high Renaissance in England.

This is focusing JUST on England during this period. Start with Henry VIII if you need a beginning point, and go through all the Tudor kings/queens. Elizabeth I is the big figure of "Elizabeth"an England, of course, so much of the big things happen under her.

You can use your book for this (there are a few sections in Chapter 17 that talk about England), but you'll need more information (from the websites)
