Quote of the Day: "Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal." - Henry Ford
Learning Targets:
Chapter 14 Targets
* The French king, Louis XIV, is regarded as the best example of a seventeenth century absolutist ruler. Louis used all means at his disposal to keep power firmly in his own hands.
• Writing and drama reached new heights in England and Spain. Two writers from this period, England's Shakespeare and Spain's Lope de Vega, are considered among the greatest writers ever.
• Political thought also evolved during this period. Thomas Hobbes argued in favor of absolutism. Hobbes's fellow Englishman, John Locke, countered that governments were formed by a contract to protect people's natural rights. Locke's ideas became important to both Americans and French in the eighteenth century.
• We will do a philosophical chairs debate in class (Wed/Thu) – Who was right Hobbes or Locke?
Agenda:
1. Quiz Chapter 14
2. Video from Chapter 14 - Louis "The Sun King"
3. Notes - Louis, Shakespeare, Hobbes/Locke
Wed/Thu - we will head to the counselor and then come back to finish the chapter. We'll review and discuss Hobbes/Locke's political thought.
TEST IS FRIDAY
Video Project proposal is due on Monday
