Unit Four: The Middle Ages, Renaissance, Exploration, Reformation Suggested Performance Assessment Goal: Students will understand that there is a continually changing relationship between religion and the social, economic and political aspects of nations that build from previous cultures and occurrences as a result of cultural diffusion and movement, both forced and voluntary. Role: Students will assume various roles at a mock trial of Martin Luther. Audience: Students in class will be fact checkers and jury members. Situation: Students will present a trial of Martin Luther, who has been charged with heresy by the Catholic Church. They will be charged with the task of researching the changing role of religion in Europe from the time of the Middle Ages through the time of the Reformation. They will be required to evaluate the impact of religion on European life and beliefs and assess whether Luther and his ideas alone were truly as radical and had as far reaching impact as the Catholic Church charged, in order to fairly try Luther in court. Product: A mock trial of Martin Luther will be held. All students will write a paper based on their roles in the trial and also will write about why they felt the verdict was or was no fair. Standard: Research, Presentation, Discussion Rubrics Performance Task Details: Divide the class into small groups. Students will be assigned roles to research for the mock trial of Martin Luther.

Social Life and Structures during the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Age of Exploration and the Reformation.
