12. Monday, October 24, 2011 • Class: Ms. Barben is going to finish her PowerPoint Presentation, and you are to continue taking notes in the provided graphic organizer. • Homework: Your reading assignment

13. Tuesday, October 25, 2011 • Groups: As a way to check for understanding and review what the Age of Enlightenment was all about, in your assigned groups, you will be creating a Pictoword for ENLIGHTENMENT. • A Pictoword or Sociogram uses images related to the word to form the shapes of each letter. • As you shape-spell out the word, you are also defining the word and providing examples of what the word is all about. • You may have done this in middle school as one of your art projects. • Ms. Barben has examples posted around the room and will also show examples on the Smartboard. • There are also examples uploaded on her Teacher Page. • You will use your graphic organizer notes, the textbook, and supplemental reading for this activity.

14. Tuesday, October 25, 2011 • a) The student used pictures, symbols, and images to form the shape of each letter. • The student did not just outline the letter and stick pictures to it. • And the images spell out---ENLIGHTENMENT • b)The images each defined a different aspect of the ENLIGHTENMENT-- • That means 13 different characteristics. • No concepts or images were repeated. • If an image or aspect is repeated, it will not be counted. • You may use computer images from Ms. Barben’s PowerPoint, the internet, or hand-draw them. • Must address: • causes of the Enlightenment, • definition of the Enlightenment, • the five key ideas of the Enlightenment----reason, nature, liberty, happiness, and progress, • philosophes, • and effects of the Enlightenment • Each image/letter is worth 5 points for a total of 65 points • c) There was a detailed TYPED key that explained the symbolism for each letter. • The key was well-developed and served as a good review of the notes from all sources---textbook, supplemental readings, and powerpoint. • Each key description was a minimum of THREE well-developed sentences that defined, explained, and provided examples. • Each letter with key explanation is worth 5 points for a total of 65 points. • d) The assignment was done in color, neat, and reflected good effort. If not, it is 10% off.

15. On Pictoword Grade Sheet • Each group member must write down on the back what he or she specifically did. • We have had issues of students not carrying their weight in group projects, and this will not happen again. • If you do not do your fair part, you will not receive credit for the project and will receive a zero!

19. Block Days • Writer’s Role: You will be writing as yourself, a concerned student who sees this assignment as a relatively easy way to get a good grade and produce something that will help you learn. • Audience: You will be creating these cards primarily for your own use to study for the unit test and midterm. • Form: On your card, you should have the following--- • Word spelled correctly • Historical definition---From Enlightenment Time Period—use notes and supplemental reading---DO NOT JUST GET A DEFINITION FROM THE DICTIONARY!
