After viewing the videos about the Medici and Florence during the Renaissance and taking notes on the salient points write a, reaction piece to it. What did you find most interesting? What did you learn that you didn’t know? What shocked you or confused you? What links can you make to the present-day issues we are facing? What big themes came up in the video? How does the video change your understanding of Renaissance Florence? These are all potential questions you can answer. Just react to the video and the issues that emerge from it in an informal way, as if you are writing in your journal about it.
