After touring this period, write a skit concerning time travel. In part one of your skit, you and several of your friends or classmates travel back in time to the Renaissance to meet historical figures and visit historic places. In part two of your skit, bring one of the Renaissance figures back to the present with you, and portray their reaction to today's world.
