Sixth graders in Mr. Staten’s class will have a Renaissance Faire next Monday to engage deeply with the concepts they have learned about life in Europe from 800 to 1500. Students have studied the Magna Carta, the scientific revolutionary thinkers including Copernicus, Galileo, and Tycho Brahe. The challenge to Aristotle through science and its impact on the rethinking of government in the age of Enlightenment. The faire will include costumes, food, games, interactive activities based on the middle ages and the renaissance. Virtual reality tour of a castle, the British countryside, making heralds, playing medieval chess.
