Upcoming Quizzes for Seventh and Eighth Grade

As hinted at all week long, we are having quizzes.

The seventh grade quiz on the Renaissance will be tomorrow. Students will not be using their composition books, but may have a single side of a single page to use as notes on the quiz. The topics that you need to know:

  • define Renaissance
  • why did it start in Italy
  • features of Renaissance art
  • how it differed from Medieval art
  • what do humanists believe
  • what is the vernacular
  • at least two writers in vernacular
  • who was Leonardo da Vinci and what did he do
  • who invented the printing press
  • what effect did the printing press have
The upcoming eighth grade quiz on the 'road to the Civil War' (from 1856 to February of 1861) will be next Tuesday.
