W2D4 Modern world HIstory Research Assignment

When thinking about the Protestant Reformation, one cannot ignore the influence and role of Martin Luther. However, there were other important religious reformers during this period as well such as Zwingli, Calvin, Farel, Knox, Grebel, Simons, Loyola, Henry VIII, and Elizabeth I. For this assignment, you will conduct research on Martin Luther as well as one other reformer of their choice. For both reformers you ?must? report on the following areas with a minimum of one solid paragraph for each category:

1. Biography/Interesting Information – answer the question: Who were they? 2. Key Actions/Highlights of Their Influence answer the questions: What did they do?

How did they influence religion during their day? What was the response of others toward their views? What was their short term and long term legacy?

3. Religious Differences Overview – how did this reformer’s views compare and contrast to Catholic Church views of the time? Specifically address the role of sacraments, how an individual is saved, the role of the clergy, and the role of the Bible.

The information found in the textbook may be useful and a good place to start, but you will probably need to use additional sources and have the freedom to use any source. Cite all sources, and this information should be included on the bottom of the last page of your research. Any assignments received without citations will receive a zero. Also cite any clip art or pictures used. One page per reformer should be sufficient, and as always, the quality of writing is more important than the length, so ensure thorough and accurate research addresses the three categories. Also, add pictures, clip art, color, etc. Have fun researching and reporting!
