  2. Unit III’s focus will be a study of the Renaissance and Reformation. In order to understand the Renaissance and Reformation, we need to look at life in Europe just prior to these two time periods. This period before the Renaissance is known as the Middle Ages.

  3. Why is the Middle Ages called the “Middle Ages”?

  4. The Middle Ages is a historical time period between (or in the “middle” of) the fall of the Western Roman Empire (476 C.E) and the beginning of the Renaissance (beginning around 1500 C.E).

  5. What was life like in the Middle Ages?

  10. Art during the Middle Ages reflected the death brought on by disease and war. "The Dance of Death"by Hans Holbein the Younger

  11. How might art during the Middle Ages vary from art created during the Renaissance?

  12. The popular children’s nursery rhyme “Ring-Around-the-Rosie” may have been written in response to the Black Plague. "Ring around the rosie, A pocketful of posie, Ashes, Ashes, We all fall down."

  16. The Catholic Church was a powerful force during the Middle Ages. Why? • But as this time period in history ended, the Church began to lose some power. Why?

  17. Gradually towards the end of the 1400’s, early 1500’s, the Black Death subsided, wars ended, and because of this people began to leave the protection of their castles. This marked the end of the Middle Ages and the beginning of the time period in history known as the Renaissance.
