HWC Day 38 - Reformation, Absolutism, & Enlightenment

Objectives:  Evaluate the social, cultural, and political changes of Europe between 1400 and 1750.  Describe the religious impact of man's changing conception of the universe and his place within the universe.

Task:  After you've recorded our daily objectives, please pick up a mid-term exam study guide and the FCP wiki rubric from the front of the room.  Before forging ahead with our studies of Europe, I'll briefly describe the format & significance of the mid-term exam.  Next, we'll stretch our legs as we review our Europe capitals in preparation for tomorrow's quiz.  Then, we'll finish reviewing the Protestant Reformation packet.  Finally, we'll use the absolutism and Enlightenment packet to identify the signature accomplishments of individuals from the age of absolutism and the Enlightenment.
