Pre- and Post-Assessment of Objective:
Formal assessment will be the students’ Renaissance Art Projects and how well they
incorporate 2 Renaissance techniques into them. Points will be assessed via rubric
(attached at end).
Key vocabulary and concepts from this lesson will be on both the test review and
midterm test (how we do testing at PHS). Students will have the chance to correct any
incorrect responses they received on the test for 50% of the point value. Many of the
key vocabulary and concepts will show up in future lessons for reiteration.
Summative Assessment: At the end of this unit, Students will complete a small-group
(3 students per group) slideshow presentation (to be presented to the class) that
connects 3 different key individuals and/or concepts from the Renaissance/Scientific
Revolution and their ideals to how we deal with issues in today’s world (government,
social, religious, etc.). Rubric uploaded with unit plan.
Alternative Assessment Options: Accommodations for diverse learners would be more
time to complete the Renaissance Art Project and/or tests, reduced or increased
guidelines on the Renaissance Art Project, depending on the student.
Content – Scaffold: I ask numerous questions throughout my lesson for a reason. All
students may not be able to answer them with master proficiency, but all students will
be exposed to them and they will all be able to participate at a level that will enable
them to properly learn the content standard.
Content – Challenge: Some students will be able to answer the higher-level learning
questions in a manner that will challenge their critical-thinking skills.
Process – Scaffold: Instructions and step-by-step process with sufficient time during
Teaching-Modeling. Extra time to complete the assignment will be provided for those
students who need it.
Process – Challenge: Students who finish the assignment early will have their work
checked by teacher and be asked to elaborate further on some details (verbally to
teacher or to help emphasize their points/perspectives to the class).
Product – Scaffold: Create a discussion with students to have them offer up their
perspectives on the techniques/themes of Renaissance art.
Product – Challenge: Ask gifted students to provide some specific examples or
analogies of how these techniques/themes compare/contrast with today’s art.
Technology: Students will use Chrome Books to research specific examples of
techniques and themes of Renaissance art.
Critical Thinking: Students will be thinking about and formulating their thoughts
(think-pair-share), as well as answering various questions throughout the lesson.
Creativity: Students will be expected to be extremely creative with their Renaissance
Art Projects, especially the techniques/themes they select and draw.
Collaboration: Students will be effectively collaborating with other students for their
think-pair-shares.
Communication: Students will effectively communicate with each other and the

teacher throughout the lesson and with their Renaissance Art Projects.
