Renaissance Figures

Hi again...Today five students worked hard on cutting out Italian Renaissance figures supplied by Candida Martinelli on her Italophiles Site: http://italophiles.com/index.htm which I have found very informative and useful for classroom ideas. There is a big selection of characters as you can see and these will make an interesting talking point at the Expo. I know a lot of the students are keen to take one home at the end of the big week. These students worked hard on the figures making them free standing which was part of the challenge. I am still waiting for one student to bring back his finished product. Tomorrow my colleague teacher, Miss Dillion, will be supervising a group who are planning a Venetian backdrop for the figures...so stay tuned for more. We hope to photograph the finished product when it is complete.
