1. An Enlightenment Game

2. In your group, select a Presenter and a Saloniere. Rotate these roles to different group members for each round. I will project and read an excerpt from an important historical document. In your group, carefully analyze the excerpt and review your Reading Notes to identify which Enlightenment thinker's idea you think is represented in the excerpt. Make sure you have evidence from you Reading Notes to support your selection. STEPS 1-3

3. When I tell you, send your Saloniere to walk to the Enlightenment thinker whose idea you think is represented in the excerpt. If I call on your group's Saloniere, your Presenter must stand and explain why your group believes this thinker's idea is represented in the excerpt. At the end of each round, I will reveal the answer and award 1 point to each team that selected the correct thinker. The winning team will get 3 points extra credit on their Enlightenment Quiz.
