Task:  Welcome to the beginning of the modern world!  Today we'll begin our studies of the Renaissance with a brief review of humanism, individualism, secularism, and materialism.  Then, we'll split into teams to create "biographical" presentations of select Italian city-states in the 15th century.

Italian City-State Biography Project Description:   Each of you will be in a group with 2 other students to research and create a presentation on an Italian city-state (Florence, Milan, Naples, Rome/Papal States, or Venice) during the Renaissance.  Your research should be compiled in a GoogleDoc and shared with all members of your group AND the teacher.  All presentations should include geographic and historical context as well as a description of the unique political, economic, social, and cultural characteristics of the city-state.  For the presentation, you may use a medium of your choice but it must include both audio and visual components.  Grading will be based on the provided rubric.
