Notes for teachers:

• This activity is designed for seventh grade social studies students who are studying the Renassiance world.

• In an effort to provide a wide group of people for students to research, some liberty was taken in defining the Renaissance years.

• This activity includes information covered in California State History/Social Science Standards 7.2, 7.8, 7.9, 7.10, and 7.11.

• In this project, there is an emphasis on European males due to the lack of emphasis on women and non-European males in the standards.
