Reformation
This project explores the profound changes during the Reformation era, highlighting significant figures such as Wyclif, Hus, Luther, Zwingli, and Calvin, as well as pivotal events like the Great Schism and the Counter-Reformation. Each character brought unique reforms, challenging the Catholic Church and paving the way for modern Protestantism. The timeline from 1350 to 1650 illustrates major events, such as the spread of the printing press and the emergence of Puritan activism. Students will create a movie poster and conduct research to visualize these transformative times.
