HWC Day 39 - Absolutism & Enligtenment

Objectives:   Describe the religious impact of man's changing conception of the universe and his place within the universe.  Investigate the political and social revolutions that emerged in Europe beginning in the mid-eighteenth century.

Task:  After you've recorded our daily objectives, please clear your desk of everything except a pen or pencil in preparation for the map quiz.  After you finish the quiz, please turn it in at the front of the room and pick up the primary documents.  Please read these documents while you're waiting for your classmates to finish the quiz.  After the quiz, we'll finish our review of the Protestant Reformation packet.  Then, we'll use the absolutism and Enlightenment packet to identify the signature accomplishments of individuals from the age of absolutism and the Enlightenment.
