Imagine that you lived during Renaissance times. What would your life be like? What would you wear? What would you do for fun? What music would you enjoy? Type your response to one of the two scenarios:

Scenario 1: Write a letter to a friend in a friendly, conversational way describing your day.

Scenario 2: Write a journal entry in a "Dear Diary" type of format describing your day.
