Mastering the master narrative: Three plus OneThree: The old consensus picks among survey texts come down to nearly fifty

places as illustrations for their telling of the 18th century’s architectural history. We’ll collectively choose about 1/2 to 2/3 to absorb fully, prepping for a quiz next week, building a collective ppt. to study from.

SO, each student will choose 3 entries from the consensus list that you would think belong in the more significant subset, and for each you will do four things, using the template provided: -- (a) Grab and paste the identifying data: building name, location, dates, and architect, if known.-- (b) Drawing from the survey texts, devise a sentence or two that summarizes / explains the significance offered for this place or design.-- (c) Grab one or two images that best portray the building in illustrating that significance (plans are always welcome as one of them.-- (d) Put your initials over in the lower right-hand corner.KEY thing: each student will start from a set point in the 18th c. consensus webpage, moving down that page for the next 3 that seem they should be in the more significant half.

Plus One:IN addition to those three, nominate one or two others not on the 18th c. consensus list that you thought should have been there as being more significant than some that are on it, and make the same kind of slide, with its four components, for that. Use the blue background for these.

[Copy/paste data: building name, location, date (architect if any)]Ex: 04970. Spanish Steps, Rome, 1723-25 (de Sanctis, Francesco).

[Your initials]

[One or two images best at illustrating that point.]

[Look at survey texts or other accounts, then devise one or two sentences of your own that explain the significance of this place in the narrative developed there. ]
