Optional Extension Task: Research Topic - The religious wars following the Reformation.

It can be a complex topic, so start by first re-reading any information in the websites at the top of the page where they cover the 'consequences' or things that happened as a result of the Protestant Reformation. It is an interesting but very sad chapter in human history because of the death, destruction and horrible acts that were committed by different groups.

Some of these groups developed different understandings of how individual people should be treated in society. Some groups also had such a strong conviction that their religion was the only one with the correct beliefs, that they engaged in wars to kill others that disagreed with them. Compile your research findings using one of the presentation apps such as PowerPoint, Prezi or PhotoStory.

(Remember to list your Sources of information at the end, for any you don't briefly quote from and note during your presentation.)
