HWC1.2 Day 40 - Absolutism, Enlightenment, & Revolution

Objectives:  Evaluate the social, cultural, and political changes of Europe between 1450 and 1700.  Investigate the political and social revolutions that emerged in Europe beginning in the mid-eighteenth century.

Task:  As you come into class, please get out your computers and complete your reflection on the "New Spirit of the Renaissance."  Then, get out your FCP video sketches.  In your partner "conference," briefly describe your topic and category, explain your idea for the video, and identify your outsource request.

For the next portion of class, we'll use our absolutism and Enlightenment charts for a review activity.  Finally, we'll end class with a video on the "French Revolution."
