Do The Following

Step 1:  Renaissance Documentaries

Watch at least half an hour of video documentary about the Renaissance drawn from Renaissance -- Early Modern Europe Video Links.  Come to class ready to describe what you watched and what you learned.

Step 2:  History In The News

Browse at random for a few minutes in Early Modern Europe In The News.  Read a few articles from different topics.  Identify one article of particular interest and come to class ready to offer a brief summary of that article.

---

Step 3:  Browsing In The Video And Audio Archives

Spend several minutes browsing titles in Early Modern Europe Video Links; Early Modern Europe Audio Links; and Early Modern Europe Video Links -- NIC And VIPL.  Rather than open up shows, try to get a sense of what is in the archive and what might interest you.

Step 4:  Watching A Non-Renaissance Documentary

Watch or listen to at least half an hour of video or audio documentary.  This can either be a title you identified as of potential interest in Step 3 or above or that is from the Andrew Graham-Dixon Video Page.
