Today we reviewed the last of chapter 19 and we started reviewing the Scientific Revolution. After talking to each class and my own reading of the room I've decided to POSTPONE the test until Monday. I hate Monday tests, but I feel like this will give us the best chance to be successful. We will begin the French Revolution tomorrow in class.
For our test on Friday. This is what I have so far. I will add the rest tomorrow. We will have time on Thursday to review in class.
Add-Ons (Added Wednesday Afternoon)
Chapter 18
Below is the Reading Guide for chapter 19. It's due on Thursday, November 30th. 16 whole days from now. Ignore that it says December 1st in the file.
Today in class we talked about some of the most important figures of the Enlightenment. In order to get ready for tomorrow, read the sections on the Enlightened Absolutists and fill in the charts you got in class.
Today on the Block Day we did our Scientific Revolutionary Speed Dating activity. We got acquainted with some of the key figures of the age. Over the loooooong weekend, read the next section of chapter 18 on the Enlightenment. You should have gotten the graphic organizer in class, but if you missed it, it is posted below. Just do the section on the Enlightenment, as you've already done the section on the Scientific Revolution and we'll get to the Enlightened Absolutists.
Today in class we drafted our Scientific Revolutionaries for our speed dating activity and spent time getting ready for the block day. If you were absent, pick somebody from the list below for your period and complete the speed dating profile. We will host a mock speed dating activity where you become acquainted with some of the other major figures of the Scientific Revolution. Remember that the first part of the chapter 18 reading is due anytime on Wednesday. 1st period- (Carl Von Linne, Margaret Cavandish) 3rd period- (Gerolamo Cardano, Tycho Brahe, Paracelsus, Bernard Fontenelle) 4th period- (Johannes Kepler, Paracelsus) 5th period- (Gerolamo Cardano, Tycho Brahe, Paracelsus, Andreas Vesalius, Pierre Bayle)
