This is part of my Introduction to World History Unit. It is important for students to have a basic understanding of the past before they move on to life in the 1700's (usually starting with Enlightenment philosophers), that's why this unit covers life before the 1700's. It reviews the important topics of the Renaissance, Reformation, Scientific Revolution, & Enlightenment in a week with fun activities. This packet is heavily scaffolded with graphic organizers and guided reading questions. It's a digital textbook with built in guided reading questions and vocabulary. Teach students with diverse sources to make a more interesting and engaging history classroom. This is intended for high school but can be used for advanced middle schoolers as well.

-Students analyze the origins, accomplishments, and geographic diffusion of the Renaissance.
-Describe the way in which the revival of classical learning and the arts fostered a new interest in humanism (i.e., a balance between intellect and religious faith).
-Detail advances made in literature, the arts, science, mathematics, cartography, engineering, and the understanding of human anatomy and astronomy (Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo di Buonarroti Simoni, Johann Gutenberg, William Shakespeare).
-Students analyze the historical developments of the Scientific Revolution and its lasting effect on religious, political, and cultural institutions.
-Understand the significance of the new scientific theories (e.g., those of Copernicus, Galileo, Kepler, Newton) and the significance of new inventions (e.g., the telescope, microscope, thermometer, barometer).
- List the causes for the internal turmoil in and weakening of the Catholic church (e.g., tax policies, selling of indulgences).
- Students analyze political and economic change in the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries (the the Enlightenment, and the Age of Reason). Students analyze the historical developments of the Reformation. Identify and locate the European regions that remained Catholic and those that became Protestant and explain how the division affected the distribution of religions in the New World. Discuss the roots of the Scientific Revolution (e.g., Greek rationalism; Jewish, Christian, and Muslim science; Renaissance humanism; new knowledge from global exploration). Describe the growth and effects of new ways of disseminating information (e.g., the ability to manufacture paper, translation of the Bible into the vernacular, printing).
