Enlightenment Review

Essential Questions for Unit 1:

• • What happens when people begin to question their government?

  • What is the difference between summary and analysis and when should you use each?

Objectives (students will):

• • Review the importance of reading the entire document for understanding

  • review annotation

  • review the importance of skimming documents for important details/facts

  • review the Enlightenment

Agenda:

• 1. Pass back 9th grade finals

     1. WHAT we are doing: PART 1

     2. Using 7 different sources and a piece of blank paper, you will construct a web diagram about the Enlightenment. Your web diagram should incorporate the following subtopics:

        1. WHO

        2. WHAT

        3. WHEN

        4. WHERE

        5. WHY

        6. HOW

        7. First, Take a detailed look at your final from World History I (if you don’t have one, I have another you may look at). Using information from your final, begin to create your web diagram.

        8. When time is called for the opener, you must summarize the Enlightenment by coming up with ONE WORD that best describes this important period in history.

        9. Next, you will be placed in small groups. Within your groups, share your word choices and web diagrams. Take a few moments to add to your web diagram if needed based on what your group members shared.

        10. In your groups you will rotate through 6 documents. All are documents I have used in the past to teach the Enlightenment (these documents are attached). Information may be repetitive and you do not need to complete any of these documents (in fact, they are masters so please don’t write on them). Instead you will need to review the information, discuss it as a group, and decide where it fits on your web diagram (perhaps you already have the ideas written down!).

        11. While working in these groups, be sure everyone is on the same page. Ask questions of each other, especially clarifying questions. Be sure each person takes a turn explaining the information in their own way to ensure learning.

        12. When you have finished with all documents, you should have fantastic and informative web diagram that provides details on the period known as the Enlightenment.

        13. Then, you’ll use the backside of your web diagram to create an acrostic…..

        14. Acrostic Instructions: An acrostic is a poem, word puzzle, or other composition in which certain letters in each line form a word or words.

        15. Choose one of the following selections to make your acrostic with:

        16. Enlightenment

        17. Age of Reason

        18. Illumination

        19. Advancement

     3. The words you create with your acrostic should address the following concepts:

     4. - A summary of the Enlightenment .

     5. - Predictions about what the Enlightenment might lead to (effects).

     6. - Each word should also have a brief explanation of why you chose the word and how it relates to the Enlightenment.

     7. - Each word should also be accompanied by a symbol representing your choice/explanation.
