Reflection
During the Renaissance project, my class learned about the Renaissance that took place in 1300 - 1600. In each of our classes we incorporated learning about that time period into our lessons. In English class, I wrote and researched about the character I was given. In History class, I learned and took notes on the history of the Renaissance and what started it. In Math class, I learned about the probability of winning games that were played during the Renaissance. In Chemistry class, I learned about how the water quality affected the lives of the people during the Renaissance.
On a scale of 1 - 10, I would rate 4. The aspect of the project that was the most challenging was working in groups because planning out our booth felt unorganized and the size of the group felt unfair since we had four group members in total and some other groups had more than double number of people. If I did this project again, I think splitting students into more equal groups could of helped make the booths more organized and less stressful.

I received critique from a classmate and they said that using more sentences like greetings they did back them would help my writing piece sound more real. The feedback was very helpful. I am also very proud of my written piece because I added as many references as I could to historical events and items that happened or existed during the time my character was alive and also added how he felt during the point in life “he” wrote the writing piece.

I am happy with how I did during exhibition because I think I did a good job explaining the importance my guild and the Renaissance and also explained why some of the props were there. I interacted with guests in a knowledgeable manner and wore a costume that matched with the exhibition’s Renaissance theme. I put a lot of effort into explaining the importance of my guild and why the props were in the booth.
I feel confident that I understand the lasting impact of the Renaissance because I took a lot of detailed notes during lessons and read articles about how important it was during the project. If I could change something about this project, it would be to learn more about the history of the Renaissance because I thought it was really interesting.
I think the grade I deserve is an A because I put a lot of effort into making a great exhibition. I took detailed notes that I reviewed before exhibition to make sure I knew what to say to the guests. I also made sure to get a costume that fit the theme and brought in props and decorations that are not only helpful for explaining the importance of my guild (merchants) but also give a visual on what a merchant shop would of looked like during the Renaissance. I got critique from classmates that helped make my writing piece stronger and also tea stained it to make it look like an old. I worked with my group to make a schedule that we all agreed on and I made sure to switch at the appropriate times.
