This comprehensive Teacher Guide outlines a structured three-day unit centered on researching and presenting the lives of key figures from the Renaissance. Students will engage in research and discovery on their selected artist, focusing on masters such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael. The unit emphasizes the importance of effective note-taking, source evaluation, and organizing information into a coherent narrative. Each day guides students through drafting, editing, and presenting a biography, culminating in a 'Master Talk' where their findings are shared with the class. The guide includes required materials, day-by-day activities, templates for note-taking, and reflective exercises that encourage students to engage deeply with the historical significance of the Renaissance and its enduring impact on art and science.
