your video notes. Add and revise. Then you and your
partner are to do a “Sum It Up”.
• Directions for “Sum It Up”:
– Using both your Video Web Charts, list the MAIN IDEAS about
the Age of Enlightenment.
•
– Now you will write a summary of the Age of Enlightenment. You
are to use as many of the MAIN IDEAS WORDS as possible. But
you cannot exceed 20 WORDS.
•
Thursday, October 20, 2011
• Class: Pairs will share their Age of
Enlightenment “Sum It Ups”. Ms. Barben
will answer any questions they have at this
point.

• Class: As Ms. Barben does her Defining the Age of Enlightenment
PowerPoint Presentation, you are to take notes in the provided graphic
organizer. Please pay attention to how and what you will be taking note:
•
• Definitions/Beliefs: This includes the formal definitions, key defining
characteristics, and related causes and effects.
• Examples: This includes examples of new ideas, key people, or events
related to the definitions or beliefs.
• Symbols: These are symbols or pictures that help you remember the
HISTORICAL DEFINITIONS. It is best to do this in color to help you
remember.
• Effects: Here you identify all the effects that the Enlightenment had on
Europe and America.
• *****It is very important to take good notes for all three parts as we will
be using this information for a Group Project and for the Homework.

• Homework: Your reading assignment
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
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.

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.
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!

• Homework: Your reading assignment
Block Days
• Ms. Barben is going to collect your reading
assignment. Make sure:
•
• Staple your Grade Sheet to the top. Make sure your
name is on the Grade Sheet.
• Behind the Grade Sheet should be your Textbook
Notes on Post-Its or on paper.
• The last part is the yellow supplemental reading that
you Talked to the Text to.
• Groups: You will have the the class period to finish
up your Enlightenment Pictoword. Presentations are
on Friday, a regular day schedule.
Block Days
• Class: Groups will present their Enlightenment Pictowords. As the groups
present, add or revise your notes in the graphic organizer.
•
• Homework: You are going to create Vocabulary Cards on the terms of the
Enlightenment. They are due on:________________________.
• Project Summary: To demonstrate knowledge in a field, one must be able to
use the vocabulary of that field, but your textbook introduces vocabulary a
little at a time and then doesn’t review it.
• Writer’s Purpose:
• You will create clear information, with accurate definitions of important
concepts or words.
• You will provide an official definition and then paraphrase the definition
applying the historical context you were exposed to with the term.
• You will also provide historical and current examples that are relevant to you
to help you define the word and make connections to related concepts.
• In addition, you will write a sentence using each vocabulary word that will help
you remember the word and its meaning.
• And then a graphic or visual will be provided to help activate that part of
learning and memory.
•
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! Dictionary definitions
are NOT HISTORICAL DEFINITIONS.
– Historical Examples From Enlightenment Time Period---use
your textbook, notes, and supplemental reading
– Related Words like synonyms or antonyms
– Original Sentence using word in historical context
– Historical graphic/illustration in color
Block Days
• Focus Correction Areas:
• FCA One: Min. of Eight cards with word, historical definition, and
personal definitions with historical examples---Worth 60 points.
• FCA Two: Complete, original sentence that conveys the historical
meaning of the word---Worth 20 points.
• FCA Three: Relevant historical picture or illustration that can be
hand-drawn or computer generated in color---Worth 15 points.
• No Excuses: Self-Edited Rough Drafts for at least 5 out of the 8
vocabulary cards, TYPED, and spell-checked---Worth 5 points.
•
• Rough Drafts:
• You are to create rough drafts for your FIVE of the required
EIGHT.
• A rough draft means notes for each required point and an idea
for your image…can for a word.
