Historians ask questions to uncover the past. In our Social Studies, we covered topics such as the
Renaissance in Europe, The Protestant Reformation and The Age of Exploration. Your task is to research
about Lebanon during the periods of the Renaissance, Protestant Reformation and The Age of
Exploration. You will be asking questions, just like historians, and you will research the answers. Follow
the guidelines below:

 Work in a group of 4 to prepare a presentation

 Create your Google Slides and share them with me before you start working as a team. Make
sure you mention ALL the team members. I will be tracking your work. I need to know who did
what.
 Part of the grade will be individual and based on your classwork, presentation skills and
rehearsal
 Presentations should be done on time. Penalty will be given to late presentations (minus 5 per
day). The deadline will be announced in class
 Your presentations should include 20 relevant questions covering the topics below
 Fakherriddine’s role in bringing Renaissance culture to Lebanon
 Renaissance evidence in Lebanon today
