September 10, 2019
Turn in: Nothing
Do Now: On the left side of your notebook, briefly list what you know about the Roman Empire.
Objective: Examine the implications of the Fall of Rome and the Middle Ages
Feel Good Fact of the Day: Smiles are innate in humans
Unit One Essential Question:
What factors cause cultural shifts (large scale changes in society)?
Before get to the "Modern Era..."
Three key steps, or parts, to what led Latin America and Europe to the "Early Modern Era" -or- the Enlightenment.
Step 1: The Fall of Rome
Step 2: Constant struggles over political rights and class structures
Step 3: Failed conflicts, wars, and revolutions slowly eroded the system.
Take yourself back to Rome, 475 C.E.Take yourself back to Rome in the year 476 CE
How did Rome go from the greatest and largest empire the world had ever seen, to disintegrating at its
core?
Could this happen to us???
The fall of the Roman EmpireMany reasons for the fall..
Key reasons:
1. Invasion of Barbarian tribes
2. The rise of the Eastern Empire (Byzantine)
3. The spread of Christianity
4. Corruption, military overspending, and over expanding
Early Christianity
• Was a minority religion in Rome until 313 CE
- Many were persecuted for this
• Emperor Constantine made it the official religion
• Many people saw this as a dividing factor
Side effects of the fall
•Progress went backwards - people could see the old work but could not recreate it
•General size and skill of life decreases
•Trade disruption; loss of common currency
•Decline of cities: population shifts out to regressive, agrarian society
Effects continued
• Decline of arts and learning; loss of a common language
• All this leads to a major, disunifying void - eventually this is filled by Christianity
• Politically there’s still a gap, which makes life very dangerous and leads to power for those who can fight
- rigid hierarchy
Step One:The turmoil caused by the fall of Rome led to a rigid hierarchical social system in which peasants gave up freedoms to be protected by the upper classes
FeudalismIdea of feudalism: vs. Reality
The Middle Ages
The medieval period of European history between the fall of the Roman Empire and the beginning of the Renaissance -sometimes referred to as the "Dark Ages."
Charlemagne, the Emperor of Romans (800 CE)
Declaration of Magna Carta (1215 CE)
The Black Death (1348-1350 CE)
**Three major shifts!
Religious Shift
Magna Carta 1215 CE(Political Shift)
• First drafted by the Archbishop of Canterbury to make peace between the unpopular King and a group of rebel barons
• It promised the protection of church rights, protection for the barons from illegal imprisonment, access to swift justice, and limitations on feudal payments to the Crown, to be implemented through a council of 25 barons.
What does this remind us of?
The Bubonic Plague (Black Death)(population shift)
• 1/3 of Europe's population killed
• Not a disease of poverty
• Huge effect on the economy
'Ring Around the Rosie"...
What would happen if 1/3 of the US’s population were to disappear right now?
What would be effected? How would people deal with it?
Review- “ticket out of here”
• What were the effects of the Fall of the Roman Empire?
• What was life like during the Middle Ages?
• What was one example of a cultural shift that occurred during the Middle ages, and what was it’s impact?
Homework:
• None!
• If you did not get a chance to add “C.Q.C” to your notes, go back and do that!
September 12, 2019 Turn in: Have your notebooks and stamp sheet out.
Do Now: In your notebook: What were the side effects of the Fall of Rome? What were the middle ages like?
Objective: Understand how cultural movements affected the dynamics of Europe, shifting it away from the Dark Ages into a new era.
Feel Good Fact: Cats bring humans “presents” because they think we can’t hunt for ourselves.
Review
How did the Fall of the Roman Empire cause the “Dark Ages”?
What was life like during the middle ages?
What were the three events/people that we discussed that cause large scale cultural shifts?
Step Two:(on our way to the Modern Era)
During the 14th century, a cultural movement called humanism began to gain momentum in Italy.
Among its many principles, humanism promoted the idea that man was the center of his own universe, and people should embrace human achievements in education, classical arts, literature and science.
Humanism•Origins: Francisco Petrarch, Italy
•studying classical Greek/Roman works.
•Started as an upper-class movement• -Access
•Idea of man being of great importance, rather than the divine.
How did we go from THIS….
…To THIS!?
Dark Ages to Renaissance
•Secular curiosity. (Questioning)
•Increasing literacy rates- (Looking back at what came before.)
•Thinking about the individual
•Remember that pyramid? Was it about the individual??
Renaissance (1304-1588)
•A time of revival of art and literature under the influence of classical models (Greek and Roman)
•The word "Renaissance" means rebirth.
•Closely associated with Florence Italy – due to abundant riches.
•Most famous for art and architecture•Michael Angelo, Leonardo Davinci, Rafael
•Ideas of Humanism!
Question:
If man is now the center of his own world (the main focus), what implications do you think Humanism had on the Church/Christianity?
Remember during the after the fall/ Middle Ages people were drawn towards religion.
Renaissance Art
Attention to detail, anatomy, and realism.
No more scary looking babies!
Time to do some primary source analysis!
1. As I project each picture, please take time to independently analyze it. (Answering the prompts in your packet)
2. Don’t move on until I say to! We will have time to discuss them.
Do not move on to document 4 yet!
Homework: Go back through your primary source packet and add any information you may have missed.
Also, go back through your notes and add “C,Q,C’s”
Innovations of the Renaissance
•Printing press!• Arguably the single most important development in the history of
Europe.
• Johannes Gutenberg developed movable type in the 1440s in Germany.
• Printed the Gutenberg Bible in 1455 (translated)
• First printed ads were seen in 1466
•Allowed the masses to be educated, read, and form opinions- this greatly hurt priests/the Catholic Church.
•Led to the social upheaval- The Reformation!
Renaissance and Reformation
• Increase in literacy rates meant people could share and receive more and more ideas.
• New ways of thinking about Christianity began to emerge.
•A man named Martin Luther saw a problem with the Catholic Church
•Indulgences
Martin Luther (1483-1546)
•German born
•Translated the common bible into German- made it more accessible.
•Nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the town's church
•Due to Renaissance innovations, his ideas were able to spread
•Luther’s challenge produced a storm within the church that eventually drove him to reject some Catholic beliefs and organize his own church
•Led to the creation of Protestantism
Homework:
• Finish any of the analysis in your packet that you did not get to! I will be collecting them tomorrow!

Turn in: Nothing! Take out notebooks.
Do now: Think allllll the way back to Friday: In your notebook- what was the view of women during the Renaissance and Reformation? What was the Reformation and what were the impacts? (Think about Macbeth as well)
Objective: Examine the Scientific Revolution and its impacts.
Feel Good Fact: Cats head-butt other cats and humans to show friendship and love.
Reformation- Lasting impacts
•Creation of Protestantism
•As time progresses and Protestantism spreads, many Northern European countries begin adopting it and making it the official religion.
•This starts to spark conflicts between Catholics and Protestants, which we will see for a long period of time.
Women and Science/Education
•Middle ages: concept of women- very traditional roles.
•Early 15th century, new opportunities for women in the secular realm began to emerge. Push towards humanism (for the elite women).
•Debates on the nature of women:• Querelles des femmes- arguments about women.
• Women seen as prone to vice or sin, easily swayed, sexually motivated, therefore men needed to control them.
• Women began to argue against these things- stating that they could participate in education and rational thought.
• Female anatomy- scientific evidence of inferiority (larger pelvis for child bearing)
Renaissance and Science
•Ideas of humanism- focus on the sciences and education.
•Focus on inward thinking- who are we? What are we? HOW are we? And, where are we?
These ideas lead us to.....
The Scientific Revolution
•Drastic change in scientific thought that took place during the 16th and 17th centuries.
•A new view of nature emerged during the Scientific Revolution, replacing the Greek view that had dominated science for about 2,000 years.
•Huge leaps in astronomy- and how we view the universe!
-Conflicts with religion- causing issues
What Caused the Scientific Revolution?
•Ideas of Humanism- Going back to previous works (Greek & Roman)
•Technological innovations from the renaissance helped establish and spread this new process of more critical thinking.
•The printing press (major)
•Telescope, microscope
•The study of mathematics (from the ancient Greeks)
Scientific Revolution Jigsaw!
1. Critically read your assigned primary source independently.
2. When prompted, work with your group to fill in your row in the jigsaw table handout.
3. After that, you will be finding three new people with new scientists to help you fill in the rest of the table.
Independent Critical Reading (10 min)
1. Critically read your primary source, looking:
- What was this scientists contribution to the Scientific Revolution?
- What was its impact?
With your same color: (5 min)
1. Share your findings with each other!
2. Fill out your section of the table in the handout!
Jigsaw time! (10 min)
1. Go back to your table group! Each of you have a different color reading/scientist!
2. Work together to fill in the remainder of the table.
Isaac Newton (1642-1727)
• Englishman- considered the greatest scientist of the scientific revolution.
•Invented calculus, studied the laws of gravitation (published in his work, Principia) in it, he established the three laws of motion
Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)•Taught mathematics at university.
•First European to use a telescope to make observations of the stars
•Disproved that the “heavens” were made of ethereal materials but were in fact made of earthly materials.
•He was eventually condemned for his beliefs and adherence to the Copernican system and forced under house arrest for the remainder of his life.
Nicholas Copernicus (1473-1543)
•From Poland, studied math and astronomy.
•Completed a work- “On the Revolution of Heavenly Spheres”
•Believed in a heliocentric version of the universe.
•Sun at center with 8 spheres rotating around. Still believed in the heavenly realms.
Margaret Cavendish (1623-1673)•Was an English aristocrat, philosopher, poet, scientist, fiction-writer, and playwright
•Theology outside science
•Education for women
•She was the first woman to attend a meeting at the Royal Society of London in 1667
So What?
•Scientific Revolution had huge, lasting impacts that we are still benefitting from today!
•Shift from pre-Renaissance thought to focus on education and discovery. (Science outside of religion)
•People are starting to question religion and question authority!
Magellan and his travels
•In search of fame and fortune, Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan (c. 1480-1521) set out from Spain in 1519 with a fleet of five ships to discover a western sea route to the Spice Islands.
• During his trip, he discovered what is now known as the Strait of Magellan and became the first European to cross the Pacific Ocean.
•Magellan himself was killed in battle on the voyage, but his expedition proved that the globe could be circled by sea and that the world was much larger than had previously been thought.
What impact (political, social, etc) does the concept of the world being larger and travelable have?
People are starting to question everything!
1. Fall of Rome- Feudalism/ Dark ages
2. Renaissance and Reformation- focus on the individual/education, questioning religion
3. Scientific Revolution- questioning the world around us/innovating
These lead us to… step three….
Step Three:
New ways of thinking about the world and power caused a series of conflicts that slowly eroded the system.
Step Three:
Absolutism
Homework:
1. Go back through your notes and add comments, questions, and connections.
2. Read pages 544-545 in your texts books and take notes in your notebooks. (Don’t forget “C,Q,C’s”)
Due tomorrow!
September 19, 2019
Turn in: Nothing.
Do Now: Grab a timeline from the front table and glue in your notebook (left side).
Objective: Examine the Enlightenment period!
Feel Good Fact: The oldest recorded pet dog name is “Abutiu” from 2345 BC. It means basically “bark”.
To review - What were the impacts of:
- Scientific Revolution
- Magellan
- Absolutism
- Thirty Years War (will discuss)
Absolutism•A political theory that absolute power should be vested in one or more rulers.• Gaining popularity across Europe at this time.
• Remember the pyramid before?
•The most familiar claim of absolutism was made by King Louis XIV (1643–1715) of France when he said, “I am the state”.
“I have no intention of sharing my authority”“L’état, c’est moi.” (I am the state)“One king, one law, one faith.”“The interests of the state must come first”
Absolutism in England
• King James I• Religious intolerance, taxation
• Gun Powder plot
•His absolutist actions led to what is known as the English Civil War.
• England established it’s multi-system parliament (separation of powers)
Timeline of Events
1000 years of history building up to..
The Enlightenment
-Previous steps culminating in the beginning of free, modern social thought, constructs, and norms!
Enlightenment defined:
•European intellectual movement of the late 17th and 18th centuries emphasizing reason and individualism rather than tradition.
The Enlightenment (1700s)
•Paris becomes the center of learning and ideas in Europe• came out of Thirty Years War looking good
•Questioning authority!
•Philosophes – believed that people could apply logic and reason to all aspects of life• Just like Galileo or Newton did applying reason to science in the
Scientific Revolution
Five main concepts behind their beliefs:
• Reason – truth could be discovered through logic or reasoning• Nature – what was natural was also good• Happiness – be happy here and now• Progress – mankind can always improve• Liberty – the French philosophes wanted the same liberties that
the English had won through Bill of Rights, etc.
Agree or Disagree?
1. Humans are naturally reasonable beings.
2. Humans are inherently good.
3. Government has a responsibility to respect the rights of its citizens.
4. Humans should give up certain individual rights for the good of the whole.
5. There are universal laws that govern the way humans behave.
Homework:
Critically read the articles for Hobbes and Locke (blue)
Or
Critically read for Montesquieu and Rousseau (green)
- Highlight key information about their beliefs.
Due Tomorrow!
September 20, 2019
Turn in: Have your readings out.
Do now: In your notes, list the key ideas of your assigned Philosophes.
Objective: Critically analyze Enlightenment thinkers.
The Enlightenment (1700s)
•Paris becomes the center of learning and ideas in Europe• came out of Thirty Years War looking good
•Questioning authority!
•Philosophes – believed that people could apply logic and reason to all aspects of life• Just like Galileo or Newton did applying reason to science in the
Scientific Revolution
Salons!
- Gathering for men AND women to have intellectual discussions about philosophical ideas and concepts
- Flourished in France but were practiced other places as well.
(we kinda had one yesterday)
Who were the main Enlightenment thinkers?
Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679)
•English philosophe
•Wrote Leviathan• All individuals are equal in their natural state
• We all do what we need to survive (Instincts)
•Because we are naturally like this: people give up certain rights for the good of the whole- Social Contract
•Sovereign king is the best way to do this.
•Separation of church and state
John Locke (1632-1704)
•English philosophe
•Argued that natural rights existed: Life, liberty, and property
•People’s natural rights limit those of the king- if the king disrupted the social contract, the people had the right to revolt.
•Argued for freedom of speech, thought, religion, and property.
Charles Montesquieu (1689-1755)
•French Philosophe
•Believed humans were naturally fearful and meek
•Societies are corrupt
•Thought the purpose of government was to maintain order
•Opposed absolute monarchs- separation of powers
•Checks and balances- influenced American government
Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1788)
•Swiss Philosophe
•Thought humans were naturally good, but corrupted by society
•The Social contract- humans should never give up natural rights to a king…
•People give up rights not to a king, but for the whole community.
•All political power resides within the people
•What does this remind us of??

First and Second Estate
•First Estate – Roman Catholic Church
–1% of the population of France
–Owned 10% of the land in France
–Provided education and help to the poor
–Donated 2% of its income to the government
Second Estate – Rich nobles

Homework: None!
Feel Good Fact: Bats sing love songs to each other
France before Rev. and Enlightenment
What was going on?
Whose ideas were influential in revolutionary thought?
Estates General
•System of delegates from each of the estates, used to maintain order.
•Government decides that the Third Estate, since it represents 97% of the population could have double the number of delegates (600 instead of 300)
•Each delegate had one vote, so the Third Estate now had as much power as the First and Second combined
•King and nobles very unhappy with this
Tennis Court Oath
•June 1789 - Third Estate declares itself a “National Assembly” which could pass laws for the nation
•They find themselves locked out of the meeting, decide to meet at a nearby indoor tennis court
•Vow to remain there until they had written a constitution for France
•Several members of the First and Second Estates join them in sympathy
Bastille!
•Old fortress in central Paris
•Rumors fly that Louis XVI is going to use army to shut down National Assembly
•People start to stockpile weapons in Paris
•July 14, 1789 - Mob attacks the Bastille looking for gunpowder and weapons
•Seize control of the building, murder the prison guards and parade their heads on the end of pikes around Paris
•Bastille Day (like the Fourth of July)

Objective: Further examine the French Revolution
Homework: None! Have fun/be safe at Homecoming
Feel Good Fact: More millennials give to charity than any other generation
Women!
•France is now in full-blown chaos and terror
•Peasants start to attack manor houses looking for food but also to destroy the houses
•October 1789 – Women rioting over price of bread attack Versailles, killing some of the guards
•This forces Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette to leave Versailles and return to Paris to face the revolution
Declaration of the Rights of Man
•National Assembly adopts a document entitled “Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen”
•Similar to Declaration of Independence
•States the following:
–“Men are born and remain free and equal in rights”
–Rights include “liberty, property, security, and resistance to oppression”
Remember John Locke?
War with Austria
•Other Europeans feared chaos if France did not return to being an absolute monarchy
–Austria and Prussia openly urged giving Louis XVI back his power
•Assembly angry with Austria and Prussia for interfering, declares war on both countries in April 1792
Execution of the King
•Louis XVI was now considered a regular citizen in prison
•Jacobins put him on trial for treason
•Found guilty by a narrow margin, sentenced to death
•January 21, 1793 – executed by beheading
–Guillotine
Think back to our scenario…
Are these violent actions justifiable?
How else does change come about with absolute rulers?

Objective: Examine the French Revolution and Napoleon
Robespierre takes over
People are unhappy with the way things are going..
•Robespierre, the brilliant lawyer, starts to gain power through the Assembly
•Attempts to wipe out all traces of old France
•Created a new calendar which eliminated Sundays (too religious) and having each month contain 30 days
•All months renamed
New Government?
•Robespierre becomes leader of this group within the Assembly, making him dictator of France
•Main task of this group: protect the revolution from royalists and other threats
•People tried in the morning, guillotined in the afternoon –questionable justice
•He justified the use of terror in governing- Reign of Terror
Reign of Terror:
•Frequent use of violence to control population
•Anyone who disagreed was persecuted
•De-Christianization
•New Calendar!
Cont.- End of the Revolution
•Finally others in the Assembly turn against Robespierre
•Arrest him, sentence him to be guillotined July 1794
•France is exhausted, broke, and devastated by war.
• Directory is established (Multiple man system)
•Then, someone new appears on the scene:
Dun Dun DUNNNNN
Contributions of the Revolution
•Within France, it ended the monarchy and led to the creation of the French Republic.
• It led to the redistribution of church property to the government and to the people.
•The most important contribution of the revolution is the Declaration of Rights of Man and the Citizen, which made all citizens equal before law.
Think back to our scenario
1. You have gotten rid of Ms. Bassett
2. Created a document outlining equality within the classroom
3. However, a new leader is headed for power- Dictator
Success?
Napoleon Bonaparte
•Born in Corsica (only famous Corsican in history). Very short.
•Lieutenant by age 16
- joined army of new government after onset of French Revolution
•Defended the delegates of the National Assembly in 1795 against royalist attack
• becomes military hero of Revolution
Seizing power
•Directory gets into fight and rise of Neo-Jacobins becomes a serious threat (=return of terror)
•France about to descend into violence, Napoleon’s friends urge him to seize power
•Does so in Brumaire Coup (November 1799). Remaining Directory votes to abolish itself, forms consulate with 3 consuls. Bonaparte takes 1st consulship and becomes dictator
Napoleons goals
•Napoleon crowns himself Emperor in 1804.
•Elaborate and dramatic ceremony
•Wants to create his own "American Empire"• Haiti
• Florida
• Louisiana
• French West Indies
Was the Revolution successful?
