3. Be a writer: Write a one page paper on an Enlightened Absolutist. What was he /she like? What made this king or queen and enlightened ruler? What was accomplished? Don't focus as much on spelling, though you should try to answer as many who, what, when where, and whys as possible.
4. Be a builder: Build a model of a Parisian Salon! Make the salon out of sticks, toothpicks, Popsicle sticks, glue, rope, wood, and or floral foam. Do a little research to see what the salon would have looked like. Also keep in mind not to make it so big that it would be difficult to bring into class.
