The Renaissance is one of the topics that is covered by 7th graders in Ancient World History. After learning about it in class, each period came up with ideas for booths and games to create for the Renaissance Fair. Some of the things they came up with were painting, axe throwing, shooting bows and arrows, art, a live Shakespearean play, music, dancing, and more. The students prepared for the Renaissance Fair over a four day period and held it on May 5th. Students from the 5th grade were invited to participate in the Fair and partake in all the merriness!
