About The Renaissance
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
The listed resources follow the Renaissance from its roots to its effects. The first Renaissance mind maps explain the word as rebirth, the revival of classical Greek and Roman ideas, and the shifts in art, from medieval styles to new techniques such as perspective. They name Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael and Donatello, and place the story in Florence and Italy, with patrons such as the Medici family.
Other resources widen the picture: humanism and Petrarch, Machiavelli, Erasmus and Thomas More, printing, science, medicine and the Reformation. The Shakespeare mind map links the period to new inventions, the plague and cultural change.
Where to start
- Open the first mind map called Renaissance for a quick overview of the big ideas.
- Read the Global History Regents Review Notes on the Italian Renaissance to see how humanism is explained.
- Learn key terms with the Renaissance vocab flashcards.
- Add the maps on why the Renaissance started in Italy and on the Northern Renaissance.
Using quizzes and maps together
Look at a map first, then close it and take a quiz such as The Renaissance or Renaissance & Reformation. Note the questions you miss, go back to the matching map branch, and try again. For exam practice, the AP Euro Practice Questions and AP European History Midterm quizzes are there, alongside flashcard decks like AP European History- Unit 1. The flowcharts, including Renaissance cause and effect and humanism, help with essay planning.
