Enlightenment and Revolutions: Ideas that Changed the World
Description
Embark on a captivating exploration of the Enlightenment and Revolutions with our dynamic World History project. Featuring four enriching homework assignments, aptly named "Checkpoints," students will delve into the intellectual, political, and cultural upheavals of this pivotal period. Each assignment is accompanied by curated readings, offering students a deep understanding of the philosophical underpinnings and historical contexts.
But the excitement doesn't end there. Students will step into the shoes of Enlightenment thinkers, rulers, scientists, and more as they craft a visionary school embodying the ideals and principles of the era. From the fervent debates of the salon to the corridors of power, students will reimagine the intellectual landscape of the Enlightenment.
Furthermore, students will immortalize the spirit of the Enlightenment through the creation of a vibrant yearbook, celebrating the contributions of luminaries and ordinary citizens alike. Through this innovative project, students will not only grasp the significance of the Enlightenment but also cultivate a deeper appreciation for its enduring legacy.
