Enlightenment Persuasive Essay

This week, the 7th graders will be working on a formal essay for social studies.  They will be writing persuasive pieces that will try to convince their reader to believe their opinion about Enlightenment ideas.  Today, we began the brainstorming phase.  The students worked in groups to review the Enlightenment philosophers that they have learned about and their ideas.  Tomorrow, they will choose three arguments that they want to defend in their essay.  Then, we will discuss persuasion techniques.  The rough draft of this essay will be due on Monday, January 26.

Questions for you 7th grader:

 Which Enlightenment thinker do you believe had the best idea?
What Enlightenment ideas will you defend in your essay?
