The Best Hands-On History Project Ever!
December 01, 2013
Italian Renaissance & Reformation Hands-On Project
O.K., so every time I have used this project in my classroom, it has been total success! Students get so excited to use their creativity and actually construct something. It breaks the monotony of the usual routine and engages them deeply! I don’t know about you, but student enthusiasm in the classroom is always a huge plus!
Italian Renaissance & Reformation Doll
It would be nice to have the doll supported on a platform or base, but not required.
No Barbies, Ken, GI Joe, or craft dolls, etc. or pre-made doll clothing or accessories.
1. First side: Detailed, colorful map of the places this person lived
2. Second side: show pictures and write captions using your own words explaining biographical information about that person, important accomplishments in their life, possible failures, legacy in history, etc. Use at least 10 colored pictures each having a caption. Make the captions artistic with colorful matte backgrounds. If possible, type the words for the captions.
3. Third side: a colored backdrop of an environment they lived in, an architectural structure that was a big part of their lives or legacy, or any place they would have enjoyed being in (essentially, a mural).
4. Include a large colorful title consisting of the person’s name (4" high letters).
Have students display their work in the school library for other students to enjoy and learn from!
