Socials 9 - Feb. 4 & 6

 February 4th

Today we did some review of government, types of government/monarchs and what some of the causes of the French Revolution were.  Then we zoomed in on the Enlightenment, took some notes, did some agreeing/disagreeing and providing rationale around these statements, watched the short video below and read the textbook pages 68-70 and started filling out a chart on the philosophers of the Enlightenment.
