The Renaissance - 2023

In 8 SEAL Humanities, the class have been researching, reporting and teaching each other about different elements of the Renaissance period. Working in groups of 3 or 4, students covered the topics of the origins and spread of the Renaissance; political and economic features; everyday life; scientific revolution; art; the role of the church, the Reformation and Counter-Reformation; and the legacies of the Renaissance, including the Enlightenment. In the presentation of the information, many groups were brilliant in their creativity and engagement of the audience using humour, costumes, quizzes, and prizes.

The class will now move onto learning about the making of the modern world and their place within it.

Politics & Economics group (Erin Collins, Alanna Hepburn, Jade Todd, Bode Crawford) quizzing their enthusiastic classmates.

Science Group (Rosie Bulmer, Isabelle Christison, Harry Kelly) dressed up and used humour to engage their audience.

Explaining the advancements in Art were Ryan Winter, Angela Keenan and Charlie Suffield.

Describing how people lived during the Renaissance were Milly O’Kane, Amelia Harding and Lucy Armstrong.

The Legacies group (Lilly Hooper, Henry Flynn, Lillian Walton, Jess Shaw) explained how we still use many parts of the Renaissance in our lives.

Riley White, Lillian Herman and Jacinta Snowdon explained how religion changed during this time in history and had unique ways of engaging their audience through their quiz.
