Discussion 8: Discuss the idea of convergent factors and how
this relates to the events of the Protestant Reformation in Europe.
Guided Response: Reply to at least 2 colleagues. Discuss a modern-day
example of convergent factors that have resulted in some sort of
social change.
Discussion 9: Discuss the role that education played in the early
Renaissance. In what ways can education bring about social changes in
the modern world?
Guided Response: Reply to at least 2 colleagues. Describe how your
own educational experiences are, or have the potential to, impact and
change your own path within the world.
Face-to-face Challenge Activity: Divide students into teams of 46. List the following music genres on the board: country, rap, rock,
pop, alternative. Assign each team to a music genre. Each team then
chooses a song from their genre and re-writes the lyrics to summarize
either the transition into Renaissance or the events of the Reformation.
Song must include at least 5 key references and 3 historical people
from the era. At the end of the activity, each team sings their
new(old) song for the class. This is a great opportunity to let students
use their cell phones to locate music and provide background
accompaniment!
Weekly Reflection: Using Martin Luthers life and teachings as an
example, write a 1-page reflection about a modern-day person who
might be called an agent of change in their society/culture (but who
is not without personal flaws, like Luther).
