Gutenburg and the Writers of the Renaissance


Welcome to the First Day of Block Scheduling!

Since we have two hours together, we're mixing two lessons into one. So, there are two main ideas, 10 WWK and... I know you're already grumbling. :)

Daily Objectives:
GUTENBERG AND HIS BIBLE

MAIN IDEA: Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press which made books easy to print. Books and the ideas in them spread through Europe and got everyone thinking about different ideas.
  • Moveable Type:  invented in China, later came to Europe.  One block has a raised symbol on it that can be combined with others on a frame to create a page of text.  The symbol can then be reused on another page.
  • Printing Press:  1455, invented by Johannes Gutenberg, allowed for the quick spread of the written word and ideas.  Without the printing press, there could have been no renaissance or reformation.
  • By 1500, there were printing presses in 250 European cities, and in just 45 years, more than 9 million books had been printed.  Before, every book had to be printing by hand, one letter at a time.
  • Vernacular: written in the local language
  • Petrarch: father of humanism and poet who was Italian
  • Dante: wrote the Divine Comedy about a journey through the afterlife - Italian
  • Machiavelli: wrote The Prince about how rulers should be feared, not loved - Italian
  • Chaucer: wrote The Canterbury Tales about people on a pilgrimage - English
  • Cervantes: wrote Don Quixote about a man who thought he was a knight - Spanish
LEFT SIDE: activity on the vernacular - see me in class.
