Timeline Assignment

Classwork for December 19 and January 6.

Now that we have studied the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the Scientific Revolution; let's take a look at how they are connected by using a timeline.

You and a partner will research the following events and put them on a timeline.  After placing the event on the timeline, decide if the event correlates to Renaissance, Reformation, or the Scientific Revolution.  Color code these time periods and the events that fall into that category.

1. Brunelleschi invents perspective.
2. Brunelleschi begins Dome.
3. Papacy returns to Rome.
4. Lorenzo de Medici takes power in Florence.
5. Gutenberg Bible is printed.
6. Machiavelli writes The Prince.
7. Henry VIII takes throne of England.
8. Michelangelo paints Sistine Chapel.
9. Leonardo da Vinci paints Last Supper.
10. Building of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome.
11. Thomas More writes Utopia.
12. Michelangelo paints The Last Judgement
13. Martin Luther posts 95 Theses.
14. Peace of Augsburg
15. Copernicus publishes his heliocentric theory
16. Vesalius publishes an anatomy book
17. Elizabeth I establishes Church of England
18. St. Bartholomew's  Day Massacre
19. Mercator draws world map
20. Shakespeare writes Hamlet
21. Calvin sets up a theocracy in Geneva
22. Calvinists leave England for America
23. Council of Trent
24. Galileo tried before the Inquisition.
25. Newton publishes book on Laws of Gravity.

You will then add the following events and color code them as "Global Age".
For each event write one effect of that event. (ex.  Dias sails around Africa - This opened the way for a sea route to Asia.)

1. Dias sails around Africa
2. Da Gama sails to India
3. Columbus "finds" America.
4. Portugal "finds" Brazil.
5. Line of Demarcation
6. Magellan's voyage leaves Spain.
7. Magellan's ships return to Spain.
8. Cortes lands in Mexico.

After you complete the timelines, write 3 generalizations/conclusions that you can see after studying the timeline.

Then, write 2 predictions of what could happen next.  Explain how you arrived at those predictions (based on the timeline).

Finally, what information is missing from the timeline that you would need to describe the impact of these events?
