Turning Points Project

Slide Show Development

• Divide the project requirements - one should focus on The Renaissance, while the other should focus on The Reformation

• Remember, quantity is not as important as quality. However, you should have the following required slides completed in your project presentation:

• for each source that you use please maintain a running works cited page of the sources used! You will need to use standard citation for each entry, and refer to the Research Guide for the correct format. A final copy of the works cited page needs to be submitted the day of your presentation. If there is no works cited page, then your group will receive a 50% of the project.

• Use the essay question and the planning outline to guide your presentation

• Be sure to make your presentation appealing to the viewers  use graphics, pictures, and illustrations  be sure to include text to substantiate your position.

• The bottom line for this project is that you prove that both The Renaissance and The Reformation were turning points throughout global history.

• 3 Discuss and interpret Martin Luther's Ninety-Five Theses (http://www.iclnet.org/pub/resources/text/

• 4. Discuss and interpret the proceedings and resolutions of the Council of Trent - compare and contrast some resolutions; possibly group the students and divide the canons and sessions and have them report on their analysis, etc.
