Students will be able to explain what Martin Luthers complaints against the Catholic Church were and why he had problems with the Church. Do Now What do you remember about the Catholic Church during the Middle Ages? What role did it serve in everyday life? What role did it serve during the Crusades? The warm-up will be a discussion of the previous units discussion of religion during the Middle Ages. During the previous unit, we discussed the power of the church and how the church influenced the actions of everyday people. However, as we move forward into the Renaissance, we will begin to discuss how exactly the Renaissance orchestrated the shift from a reliance on the Church to widespread challenges of the church. We have addressed the writings of both Erasmus and Giovanni and how their unorthodox criticisms of the church were revolutionary. Now we will begin discussing Martin Luther and his concerted disregard for the church. Before we enter the direct instruction for the day, students will complete the summary section of their Cornell Notes in order to segue into the next days lesson.

Direct Instruction:

Enduring understandings: How did inventions during the Renaissance make it easier for Martin Luther to spread his message? What were Martin Luthers problems with the Catholic Church? How did the Catholic Church respond? How was Martin Luther a catalyst for the Protestant Reformation? How did the Renaissance attitude extend to religious reformations? What were Martin Luthers complaints against the Catholic Church? Why did

Martin Luther have problems with the Catholic Church? To supplement the discussion, there will be PowerPoint slides for students to take notes from. We will continue working on summarizing slides in order to practice our summary skills. Introduction to Martin Luther, his conflict with the church, and the 95 Theses using the following video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt5AJr0wls0 The video introduces Martin Luther and how his 95 Theses birthed the Protestant Reformation through a rap. I will have students simply respond to the video with I notice.../I wonder statements to simply gauge their initial reactions. Then, I will explain that during this time period, conflicts related to the Church were increasing. The church began selling indulgences which basically implied people could buy their way into heaven. Martin Luther, a Catholic Monk, wrote a letter to the Archbishop of Mainz to explain his position. The Catholic Church saw his disagreement as heretical and he was excommunicated (review of definition). I will ask students how they think this played out. Students will offer responses. We have discussed the power of the church and during yesterdays lesson, challenges that the church often abused its power one of the desired responses is that there was perhaps a growing formal movement against the church. I will then tell the students that there were conflicts over the papacy and that people began thinking that the Church should have less political involvement. Then, in groups, students will analyze a small section of Luthers text. Each one will represent a different overall criticism that Luther makes about the Catholic Churchs power. Students in the group will fill out the graphic organizer (attached) to help them dissect their text. They will then select a representative to share out in front of the class what their excerpt represented.
