This resource is great for World History and Art History classes. Two part assignment: 1. Jigsaw Students will complete a Jigsaw Activity where they will research ONE of the four Ninja Turtles... I mean... Renaissance artists. And then, they will share their discoveries as a group. 2. Extension Activity Students will research a piece of artwork that was done by another artist (not the one they researched) and answer some questions about media, technique, imagery, etc.

This activity could be used as a follow-up activity, after teaching about Henry VIII and the six wives, or as a project-based learning activity to encourage students to explore and research on their own. I have used it both ways. In this activity, students will conduct research on one of Henry VIII's wives and have to write a poem/rap/song that tells their story. Since most history is told by men, and these wives are often only known for their "end", I wanted to encourage students to learn more

In this activity, students will watch a video about 19th century artwork and answer questions. The video is provided in the document; it's a Youtube link.

This is test corrections worksheet for students. However, instead of just asking the students to correct their mistakes, I ask students to dig a little deeper in order to earn points back. Students will need to explain how they know this new answer is correct (siting page numbers, similar math problems and the work, etc.) and make a plan for how they will improve on future tests.
