The Renaissance is the theme of a five-week unit designed to boost reading comprehension, spelling, vocabulary, and expository writing skills. Scholars listen to and discuss daily readings and engage in skills practice activities covering prefixes, linking verbs, prepositions, and correlative conjunctions. They test their spelling, draft informational paragraphs about humanism, and write biographies for Renaissance artists.
