This web activity is going to require you to delve deeper into Renaissance life by creating a character sketch. Using http://renaissance.dm.net/compendium/ you must assume the role of a real life person. In order to complete this assignment, follow the directions below. Prepare yourself to present and discuss your Renaissance role and justify your choices in answers.

Begin by deciding on your name and occupation. Try to imagine what might be your skill. You may not choose royalty! (Remember that you must explain why you have chosen these things!)

Next you must decide some major elements that define your lifestyle. What do you do in your free time? Hobbies? How much to you make? What do you eat? Where do you live? What is your education? What do you wear? What is your family status? (With whom do you live?)

Lastly, in a few sentences explain what your dreams are for the future. (at least 3) Keep in mind what is possible for a person in your position and of your income. In stating your dreams try to incorporate as much Elizabethan language as possible. (at least 7 words)
