discuss the history and actions of the church during the Renaissance era. how did it affect   art? politics? lower and upper class? why did they do certain things? 

History and humanities classes are often jam-packed with women who’ve overcome centuries of discrimination and steered culture and politics. We generally remember (and are taught in different classes) about people like Harriet Tubman, Sacagawea, Cleopatra, and Rosa Parks . . . in other words, the legends… And rightfully so. Those women are amazing. But for every Eleanor Roosevelt or Susan B. Anthony, there’s a counterpart forgotten by the history books. There are thousands of women who were both important and influential, and who contributed in many different ways to the world as we know it.
So for this assignment choose a women that you think made a difference and should be recognized and talked about more.
I chose to talk about Hanan Ashrawi – Ashrawi is a Palestinian legislator, activist, and scholar who has been a prominent voice for Palestinian rights and peace in the Middle East.
Please be sure to include the following about her:
Why you believe this woman is important to the events of history
Why you believe this woman is often forgotten by the history books
How you believe this woman has made contributions that affect either history or current events. Also, make sure to talk about why she should be talked about in a humanities course about women in history. 
If you do outside research for your answer, you must properly cite the work.
These are the steps and the things we should do that are provided by the professor.
And I chose the woman that I want to talk about already. Good luck and thank you in advance!

Assignment Descriiption:
Part 1: Requires two submissions to the Module 1 Dropbox – an Excel file and a Word file.
An important behavior of successful students pertains to establishing a weekly study schedule. This may sound overly elementary, but, to the contrary, high-performing college students know exactly every hour of their day/week and how they will use their time. A planner helps you visually organize your week, making it easier to see when you have commitments and dedicated time to study, time for leisure, and other activities. This visual representation ensures that you allocate your time wisely, balancing various aspects of your life.
Download this Excel Time Management Weekly Planner: https://classroom.aspen.edu/d2l/le/content/74399/viewContent/3792066/View and complete a weekly study schedule.
Fill in the Excel planner with time blocks for work, sleep, school, family/friends, and free time.
In a separate Word document, in 250 words, detail how you plan to utilize this schedule to tackle your workload effectively and optimize study times.
Part 2: Requires one additional submission to the Module 1 Dropbox – a Word file.
Invention Strategies help the writer brainstorm ideas There are four main types of Invention Strategies: Direct Freewriting, Listing, Outlining, and Clustering-Branching (Behrens & Rosen, 2012).
Directed Free-writing – let your mind go and write spontaneously for a set amount of time, like 15 minutes or a certain number of pages. Think about a subject and just let what you think you know flow onto the page.
Listing – make a list and several sublists of your ideas. Let your mind go and jot down words and phrases related to the topic. Listing the ideas should be a way of brainstorming just the ideas. (Once the ideas are on paper you can switch to the actual outline of your paper.)
Outlining – the more structured version of lists. This would set the ideas in hierarchical order, with main points broken into subordinate points; allowing you to see the “outline” of your topic and paper.
Clustering and Branching – start with the main topic or idea and brainstorm ideas that flow from that main idea. Clustering is writing an idea in a circle on the paper and adding new bubbles containing the subtopics/ideas flowing from the main idea. Pick the subtopics that interest you the most and make further bubbles. Branching is the same concept but instead of bubbles or circles, you have branches or lines.
Choose one of the four Invention Strategies above to explore and refine the healthcare topic that you selected for the Module 1 Discussion posting this week.
In a separate Word document, in 250 words, describe your chosen strategy and rationale behind your choice and how you plan to use the selected invention strategy in future assignments.
Reference:
There is 2 pages of 250 words and 1 planner.
