WestCiv Day27 - Enlightenment


Objective:  Investigate the individuals and ideas of the Scientific Revolution and the Age of Reason.

Task:  Today, we'll start class with a video on "The Enlightenment and the Age of Louis XIV."  Then, we'll listen to and take notes on our VoiceThread on the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment.  As you listen to the comments, it will be useful to create a chart that identifies the socio-historical context, biographical information, and significant contributions.  Further, consider trends and anomalies presented of the time period.  After you've listened to all of the comments, post reflections to the question pages.  To end class, we'll have a discussion on the status of 18th century Europe.

Homework:
  • TODAY - Posts due on Enlightenment VoiceThread by 9:00 am
  • Thursday, 3/7 - Unit 4 PDC's due
