In this project, I learned how to…. (skills)

In this project I learned about the dark ages and how the Renaissance was very important because it brought so much life in it's art, math, science, and law. I explored the concept of when there were no cars and there was no electricity, but the important Renaissance figures still did what they could to help out these very dreadful times, and made things hat still are honored today. In this project I learned how to research better, I learned how to find good sources, and i learned how to write better when it comes to writing biographies.

Sentence Starters
I enjoyed this project because…
I feel like I could have done better on this project because…
Next time, I would…

I enjoyed this project because it showed how math, science, and art were really used
by people with little resources coming from dreadful times to creating things such as the
Sistine Chapel. So it really showed that things so significant can be so important to
people in a desperate time also very important today.

I will put my biography on my dp.
