In Middle Ages, this week the 8th Grade students will be working on creating a presentation in groups based on the Enlightenment. The students have been introduced to the ideas that form the basis of Western civilization. Working cooperatively, each group will be creating a presentation based on a key figure of the Enlightenment and will teach that philosophers idea to the rest of the class. Students will be able to ask questions and give their own thoughts into the ideas and how they relate to the world today. With the presidential elections fast approaching, this activity will give our students insight into the foundations of Western democracy and why it is important that we play an active role in forging the future of the country.<\/p>\n
