9/10, am History:

Today we talked about the history of Halloween, and then looked more into the Rise of Democracy with a movie about the Magna Carta. Students practiced taking notes as they watched. We then transitioned to our next topic, The Enlightenment, by reading definition essays about Philosophes and The Enlightenment.  Students answered questions about the Philosophes and The Enlightenment that they will finish for homework if they didn't finish in class. 

Homework: 1. The Philosophe and The Enlightenment ?s

2. Last class's homework: Compare the Petition of Right and The English Bill of Rights

Tell what each is, compare them, and show how they contributed to the Rise of Democracy.

11/12, pm History:

Today we talked about the history of Halloween, and then looked at the reformers. Specifically, we looked at Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony by watching a movie highlighting these two suffragettes. 

Homework: 1. Do last nights' homework: Write how all the reformers and reform movements fit together.  (See last class's blog posting for homework for more details.)
