HWC10.11 Day 42 - Enlightenment & Revolution

Objectives:  Post research to the NetGenEd Diigo group and begin contributing to the NetGenEd2013 wiki.  Investigate the political and social revolutions that emerged in Europe beginning in the mid-eighteenth century.

Task:  We'll spend the first 15 minutes working on the NetGenEd project.  Continue editing the wiki and contributing to the NetGenEd Diigo group.  For each edit to the wiki, be sure to "save with comment" and explain your contribution in the discussion thread.  By the end of TODAY, I expect that EACH of you will have made at least 4 edits to your topic page AND at least 6 comments to the discussion thread for your topic.  Remember, you should be checking the wiki at least twice a day, continue posting resources to the Diigo group, and edit the wiki (see e-mail with reminders).

We'll spend the next portion of class examining documents.  As you read each document, answer the following questions:

1. "Bartholomew's Day Massacre" - Summarize the events of August 24, 1572.  What initiated this event?  Why was this a turning point in the French Wars of Religion?
2.  "The Destruction at Magdeburg" - Summarize the events of May 1631.  What initiated these events?  Why was this a turning point in the Thirty Years War?
3. "Divine Right of Kings" - Answer the questions on the worksheet.

Finally, you'll work with a partner to complete a video summary as you watch a video on the French Revolution.
